11 Work with EDD Transactions

This chapter contains these topics:

Using the EDD Workbench (P00EWB) you can view transactions (Email, FTP, SFTP, and Direct Print) to determine the status and select a transaction to view additional information about the transaction. As EDD files can become large, you can also use the workbench to purge transactions and free up space on your system.

11.1 Viewing Transactions

JD Edwards recommends that you occasionally review your EDD transactions to verify that they transmit successfully or to view other information about the transaction. To view only transactions with your user ID, set the processing option. You can also enter values in the fields in the header portion of the screen to narrow your selection.

11.2 Purging Transactions

Occasionally, you might want to purge obsolete transactions or free up space on your system. When you purge transactions, the system removes the data from the following tables:

  • EDD Transaction Master (F00E06)

  • EDD Transaction Detail (F00E061)

  • EDD Transaction Text (F00E062)

  • EDD Transaction Paths (F00E063)

  • EDD Transaction Variables (F00E064)

  • EDD Email Client Server File (F00E06X)

Purging transactions includes the following tasks:

  • To purge transactions manually

  • To purge transactions by batch

To purge transactions by batch

Navigation

From Electronic Document Delivery Menu (G00E), choose EDD History Purge

You can purge a large number of transactions at once using a DREAM Writer, the EDD History Purge Report program (P00EPURGE).

Use the data selection to choose the records that you want to delete.

JD Edwards recommends that you run this program in proof mode first and review the results on the report. The report includes the number of records, user ID, transaction type and other information for each record that you want to delete. Adjust the data selection until you are satisfied with the results on the report. After you are satisfied with the results, run the program in final mode. The final report includes the number of records the program removes from each of the files.

Additionally, you can use the Import/Export function to export this report to an export file on the Integrated File System. See Section 4.3, "Exporting Data by Batch" for more information.
