Purging Deletes

Member for

I am not noticing a slow response, but we are using the Primavera database to create a report and the report is showing the deleted activities. Since the deleted activities were showing up in the report, we have adjusted the report to ignore the activities marked as deleted.



I am not sure how they are showing up in the database if they are deleted, I just know that my report was reflecting activities that have been deleted and when my programmer followed up he said the activity is still in the database, but marked as deleted.



Any thoughts? Would it be helpful to anyone for me to follow up with my programmer?

Donna,



Its not required as its explained in my feedback.



As per Primavera the Backlog data is immediatly deleted on closing the project.



are you feeling that its slowing the commands share to give more feedback.



thanks

Thanks for the input. I guess we will have to find another way.

Yes Donna ,



Purge Delete Command has been deleted.



FROM Primavera

Prior to P6 the task of cleaning up the database was the

responsibility of the Project Manager (PM) client. Some of the

cleanup was done during login and logout of individual sessions.

The remaining cleanup tasks were done by the Purge Deletes

option on the Tools menu. These functions are resource intensive

and time consuming.
