3.14.1 How is Data Sent to the Micro Focus Server

After the weekly collection, the data is stored at /var/opt/novell/telemetry/data/ on the OES server that was configured with this program. The OES server transfers the data to the Micro Focus server. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the system attempts to send it again during the next weekly cycle. No attempts to send the data is made outside of the weekly cycles.

The data is not encrypted because no sensitive or identifying information is included.
