Table rotation is used by Event Management, by default, to
contain the growth of event \[em_event\] tables within the rotation table group.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Table rotation ensures that event tables grow to a reasonable size.

Each table rotation has a schedule, according to which new data is written to one of the tables in the rotation group. A table rotation group includes the
original table plus several additional tables. After the rotation procedure has written the last table in a rotation, the rotation overwrites the first table in the rotation. By default, the table rotation for Event Management is to rotate the em_table to an offload table and the base table cleanup takes place after seven table rotations. For information about backing up events to a custom table, see [Event Management configuration preferences](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/41jpSgtHTFfdWtXJOYLqiQ "Preferred settings of properties and general configuration.").

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionTable Rotations.
2. Select the \[em_event\] table rotation group to modify.
3. Edit the required fields.
4. Select Update.
