Archiving Notifications

Use the Archive Notifications page to archive notifications system wide. Archiving notification data at regular intervals improves system performance.

Use the Archive Notifications page to archive the data based on the selected options. You can also use this page to schedule the archive process or set the recurrence of the process. When notifications are archived, the data is moved from the notification table (PSPTPN_MSG_TBL) to the archive table (PSPTPN_ARCHIVE).
