Running Archive and Purge
The Archive and Purge feature lets you periodically save and delete transactions that you no longer need online to reclaim space in your database and improve system performance. There are seven different programs available from this screen. Depending on which program you run, a report might be generated to show you all the transactions that have been purged. If you are running in Preview mode, the report shows all purge candidates.
