Purpose
The GLTRANS.P2 procedure is used to purge inactive GLTRANS records from the
data base. The criteria used to deterime which records are purged is based on
a user defined cut-off date. All posted GLTRANS records which are on file and
fall within the cut-off date will be deleted. It is recommended that this
process only be run when it is certain that there is not further need to
reference the journal entries.
Frequency of Use
The frequency with which a purge is performed will vary depending on such
factors as available disk space and the amount of on-line history desired.
This process should not be run until after the selected fiscal year is finally
closed.
Prerequisites
It is strongly recommended that a full account backup be performed prior to
executing any purge process. It is also recommended that this be a permanent
backup so that any records which were purged can be restored at a later date
if required.
