Performance Management Architect creates transactions in the Performance Management Architect database. This database is automatically created during installation and configuration. Since Performance Management Architect does not delete these artifacts, the database size can increase over time. The Performance Management Architect Transaction History Purge Utility enables you to remove transactions from the database to reduce database size.

The Transaction History Purge removes transactions to reduce database size. If you use the utility, you should make a full backup of the Performance Management Architect database before running the utility to keep an audit trail for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Note:

You must have the LCM Administrator or EPMA Administrator security role to purge the transaction history. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
