RE: JDE/Peoplesoft Archiving

Meant to add more info on this topic as well...  One issue you may run
into, especially if you are a 24/7 shop, is that after you purge some
files, they will need to be reorged.  That can be a pain but there are
some products out there that can do a "reorg while active" if needed.
Also there IS at least one product that takes JDE/Peoplesoft purging to
a new level.  I have talked with this vendor at conferences and the tool
sounds really cool but we just don't need it.  David Shea at
http://www.arctools.com has a product specifically for JDE purging and
is worth looking at.  I believe he also has a reorg tool as well.

Yep, do it all the time but I don't need any special software to do it.
JDE/Peoplesoft has quite a few built in purges for a majority of their
files as well as a generic Dreamwriter purge called P00PURGE.  Can I
assume you are using Peoplesoft World? Or EnterpriseOne.  All of their
purges create a "copy" of the file you are purging and puts the purged
data from the production file into it.  You can then just tape off the
files to archive and you're done.  If you have specifics, I should be
able to help.  There is also a user forum and list at
http://www.jdelist.com that this type of discussion has been regularly
covered.  You can check their archives and probably find something.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone else out there has run into the need
to purge JDE(peoplesoft) data from the iseries and if so, what product
have you used that you would also recommend. I have been working with a
software from the UK that was all ready decided to be evaluated when I
took this position and so far I have had to apply 4 patches just to an
eval software and it hasn't been a smooth ride. Any assistance is
appreciated!  

 

Thanks from the guy who hopes to go to COMMON someday........
