Re: BPCS retirement and archiving

[macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I hope this gets to the list Ok, since my home PC is 
recovering from a melt down, and I not sure what all I have 
reinstalled correctly yet.

Vendor muddy topic ... several vendors have told me that if 
one of my contacts buys their product because of a referral 
from me, I will get a commission.  Well I have not yet made a 
dime from this, and I continue to promote what I think are 
good solutions.

There are several archiving products available that 
supposedly maintain all BPCS rules in the other libraries, so 
that if neccessary one can access anything needed.  The UPI 
archiving product is intended to off-load volume from main 
BPCS libraries, such as old orders, old inventory history ... 
our history goes back a year but 99% of our users only need 
to go back the last 2 screens worth of transactions.  Thus 
one appeal of the UPI archiving product to me is that 99% of 
the users could have what they need to access, with vastly 
superior performance, because INV300 is not accessing 1 year 
transactions history.  The other 1 % can get at what they 
need through the UPI archiving product.

Like I said at the outset, there are several archiving 
products.  UPI is one of them.  Here is url with the 
particulars.
