Post upgrade Aurea List Manager instructions

Aurea List Manager with the Pro feature set has a list setting that controls how long mailings are saved.

For upgraded servers, this setting defaults to five days. Therefore, the delivery, clickthrough, and other reporting data get deleted after five days. To change this setting and keep your data longer follow the steps below:

1. Upgrade Aurea List Manager.
2. Run Aurea List Manager.
3. Log in as a list administrator.
4. In the left navigation bar, click Utilities > List Settings > Automatic Maintenance > Purging Archives.
5. Set Keep mailing and clickthrough data for how many days to the length of time you like to view delivery and clickthrough data (recommended: 30).
6. Click Save.
7. Repeat for all lists.

New features regarding archives and message searching availability

• Message threading and searchable archives are not available immediately after upgrading from versions 5.0 and earlier. Aurea List Manager 7.0 and later has new methods of threading and indexing archives, so they are searchable.
• After upgrading, Aurea List Manager attempts to determine whether a message is a response to a previous message in that same list or whether it is starting a new thread of discussion. Aurea List Manager web interface shows this threading.
• Aurea List Manager also has a new, improved method for full-text archive searching. The database design has been changed to make searching faster and more efficient, while also using less disk space. Additionally, the new web interface allows new options for message searching, which includes not equal words, that is, exclude messages that contain a set of words.
• The database is altered during the dbupgrade process to enable these features, and then as Aurea List Manager runs, the message-threading and full-text archives are being built. This means that any searches of the full-text archive may not find any data when Aurea List Manager is started for the first time. Aurea List Manager begins rebuilding the full-text archive in the background, and once it has completed, it remains up to date, since every message is archived when it is received.
