The Customer, Vendor, User, Product, System, and EDI files have activity logs that store trackers. Delete old entries from these activity logs to reclaim disk space for other uses.
The utility uses the following two parameters to qualify log entries for purging:
A minimum number of days old.
A minimum number of entries to leave in the log.
The program purges a log entry only if it meets both requirements.
To purge activity logs:
From the Maintenance > Merge/Purge menu, select Purge Activity Logs to display the Activity Log Purge screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
For each activity log listed in the Entry Type column, enter the following purge parameters:
In the Purge field, indicate whether to purge expired entries from that log.
In the Minimum Days Before Purge field, enter the minimum number of days the entry must be in the log before it qualifies for purging.
In the Min # Logs to Save field, enter the minimum number of entries to keep in the log regardless of age.
Use one of the following hot keys to run the purge:
Begin - Purges the expired activity log entries.
Schedule - Schedules the purge to run at another time.
The system returns you to the Merge/Purge menu. When the purge completes, then system sends you a message indicating the number of purged log entries.
