# DataPublisher, Publishing Short and Long Term Data

By default short-term data is published. To turn off short term data, use the data retrieval mask setting the PUBCONF file.

See the [DataPublisher Data Retrieval Mask](http://netaphor.com/kb/AA-01248) article on how to configure the data retrieval mask.

In order to turn long term data on open the PUBCONF file and set *SendLongTermData* to *true*

- **"SendLongTermData": true,**

To configure how many quarters in a year the data should be sent back. Configure the setting *LongTermDataQuarters *to have of quarters.

- **"LongTermDataQuarters": 3,**

Once the DataPublisher is ran with long term data enabled, then setting *LongTermDataLastCollectedUtc* will update with a time value of the date of when the long term data was sent.
