Data Repair
About
The statistical data repair tool enables you to move print jobs among individual printers. If you replace a device with another one, you can move print jobs from the old device to the new one. SafeQ will identify these jobs as having been printed by the new device.
Data repair is available only for persons with Data Repair rights. This rights can be managed through Tools - Data repair User delegating page.

Repair process and requirements
In order to successfully run data repair, you must select both the old device that is to be replaced (which may have been deactivated and deleted) and the new device that is replacing the old one.
The new device must not have been activated (i.e., no jobs have been processed via SafeQ), otherwise the repair process fails.
You must also select a time period within which the jobs printed on an old device will be replaced with new ones.
After successful data repair, the old device is deactivated and deleted and the new one is activated. Both actions are run immediately. Set the deactivation date for the deactivated device for a date on which the job identification is to be changed. The activation of the new device will be set at the same date.
Data repair synchronization for statistics
The repair itself is reflected in CRS statistics with a delay. The delay depends on the set CRS synchronization times. A repair will be synchronized during each new synchronization. The date and time values and a list of repairs waiting for synchronization are displayed, both in the window header and also in the synchronization settings window.
You can set synchronization times via the cdc-time-windows parameter in the configuration (e.g.: cdc-time-windows = 3:00;12:00;21:00).
