How do I configure a size constraint policy?

Purpose

Size constraint policies regulate the number of historical records that the main database retains before purging records. The scheduling of tasks through the NFM-P can generate a large volume of archived result information if left unchecked. Size constraint policies control the volume of information stored by defining thresholds for various record classes. When the number of records for a specific class or group of classes reaches a threshold specified in the policy, the NFM-P deletes a specified number of the oldest objects that are associated with the class or group of classes.
