Re: Pick Release (ORD550)

[David Shea <dcsoft@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

With that kind of volume, you may be choking on sheer volumes of data.  Have you
tried purging the files?  There's a purging and archiving utility that works 
with
BPCS called ARCTOOLS that will help in getting the data out of the way of the
production database and into an archive environment.

Obviously, you would only want to archive older data, but if you could archive
from a year back (or tighter) you'd see a substantial improvement in response
times.  For inquiry purposes, selected logical files could be modified to allow
inquiry access to the archived data while keeping the order entry programs
humming.

Or you can call me at (508) 435-8243.
