Introduction |
This program purges old transactions according to the criteria defined in the History Options Window of System Parameters. These parameters control how long transaction history is retained. For further information about these parameters, see the History Options Window. |
|
Current period transactions and unpresented transactions are ignored by the purge. However previous period transactions which are reconciled in the current period are purged, if they meet the purge date criteria. |
|
When transactions are purged as part of this procedure, it is recommended that you follow it with a partial database rebuild, using $BARBL, the Global 3000 Rebuild Utility, to optimise the transaction indices. This utility is available via the 'Rebuild' option on the Speedbase Presentation Manager Menu which can be invoked from the System Maintenance Menu. |
Further information |
The database rebuild utility differs slightly depending on the database format. For further details: § For native format databases, see the Global System Manager Manual. |
|
§ For C-ISAM format databases, see the Global Operating Manual for Unix. |
|
§ For Btrieve format databases, see Global System Manager Version 8.1 Notes. |

Purge Transactions requires exclusive access to the Cash Manager database. You need to ask all users to exit from Cash Manager while the purge is being run. |
