Paste the following code into a new SQL Query window on the server that hosts your SystemCenterReporting Database:
use SystemCenterReporting
select cs.cs_tablename 'Table Name', wcs.wcs_groomdays 'Groom Days' from warehouseclassschema wcs
join classschemas cs
on cs.cs_classID = wcs.wcs_classID
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_AlertFact_Table'
and wcs.wcs_mustbegroomed = 1
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_SampledNumericDataFact_Table'
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_EventParameterFact_Table'
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_AlertToEventFact_Table'
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_EventFact_Table'
where cs.cs_tablename = 'SC_AlertHistoryFact_Table'
To change the retention times put the following into a new query window and run it
To change to 180 days (in this example):use SystemCenterReportingexec p_updategroomdays 'SC_AlertFact_Table', 180exec p_updategroomdays 'SC_SampledNumericDataFact_Table', 180exec p_updategroomdays 'SC_EventParameterFact_Table', 180exec p_updategroomdays 'SC_AlertToEventFact_Table', 180exec p_updategroomdays 'SC_EventFact_Table', 180exec p_updategroomdays 'SC_AlertHistoryFact_Table', 180
