| Move/Delete Archived Reports (ttaad3445m100) |  |
| Use this session to either move the files that belong to Archived Reports to a new location, or to delete those files. Moving archives As the disk nears capacity, you must move the archive files. A system administrator has the following three options to move reports: 1) Move archives with the session. This method is the easiest and slowest method of moving files. Type a new base path and select a range of archived reports to be moved, then click Move. All files in the selection range will be moved to the same location below the new "base" path. 2) Move files on OS level and correct the database with this (Move) session. Simply move on OS level a directory tree with archived reports to another location on the disk. Subsequently, run the Move session and choose the new path to ensure that the resulting files are found at the correct location on the disk. If the source file does not exist, and the target file is found, the ERP LN session will correct the database. 3) Move files to offline storage and use the alternate path from the parameters session. A system administrator can choose this option IF files must be moved to offline storage, such as tape or CD-ROM/DVD. In this case, the files must be moved on OS level. The database, however, remains unchanged! The parameters session contains the field Alternate Path for Archiving. If the reprint session cannot find an archived file at the location specified in the archive, the reprint session tries to find the file below the Alternate Path rather than the Base Path. Example: The parameter Alternate Path for Archive is set to /mnt/cdrom Archived file: /base/INVOICES/year_2003/month_10/joeuser/INVOICES00000000324 If this file cannot be found in this location, the system tries the following: /mnt/cdrom/INVOICES/year_2003/month_10/joeuser/INVOICES00000000324 As a result, if you move yearly or monthly archived data to a CD-ROM, to easily use the data, you can set the Alternate Path for Archiving to the CD-ROM drive of the ERP LN server and simply insert the applicable CD-ROM. In addition to the selection ranges for Company, Report Archive Group, and Print Date, the following fields are important: Move/Delete Update table records for missing reports Destination Detailed Report Related topics ERP LN Report Archive
