Manage the MES database

The transactional tables within the MES database grow rapidly and continuously. To keep the size of the MES database within manageable limits, you should archive and/or purge the MES database at regular time intervals. You can archive all the data of large tables and the associated (dependency) tables and then restore them. In some selected cases, you might even purge the data from the MES database.

You can create and manage archive, purge, and restore jobs using the Database Maintenance module.

The Database Maintenance module allows you to:

• Create new jobs

• Run jobs

• View jobs

• Modify jobs

• Delete jobs

• Access job logs
