Array Pointer Type

Select the method by which the arrays are indexed.

Disable valid data/time check

Default = Not selected. By default, records with a timestamp of zero are not published. Selecting this option disables that feature, so that records with zero timestamps will be published.

Disable duplicate record deletion

Default = Not selected. By default, for pushdown arrays and the audit archive, a record that's a duplicate of the previous record is not published. This is because duplicate records are assumed to be caused by new records being added during history collection, causing the position of all records in the archive to shift, resulting in records that have already been retrieved being retrieved again from a different position. Selecting this option disables that feature, so that duplicate records will be published.

Disable previous position check

Default = Not selected.  By default, the saved position of the most recently published record is checked, so that records that have already been retrieved from the archive will not be retrieved again. Selecting this option disables that feature, so that all records in the archive will be read and published every time history is collected.
