Viewing value-added services purge criteria

Transactional data collected by Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation during the execution are periodically removed from the 'live' transactional tables.

About this task

It is common to retain work order related information for extended period of time. There are history tables provided for relevant transactional tables to move data from the day-to-day 'live' tables to a historical table. Purges are the process by which old data is removed from the system database. Purges minimize the number of unused database records to increase search efficiency and reduce the size of the required physical disk.

Procedure

  1. From the menu bar, choose Applications > Distributed Order Management. The Distributed Order Management tree displays in the side panel.
