Effectively Manage, Purge and Archive Old JD Edwards Data That is Slowing You Down

If your organization is running JD Edwards and has been for some years, you will probably have a large amount of transactional data in your JD Edwards system.  While some older data will be useful for your business, it’s likely that a much greater amount of the data is not providing any business benefit.

Leaving data to accumulate can have serious repercussions down the line, at a time when it is much more difficult and inconvenient to deal with.

Unmanaged data growth can lead to problems

• Poor System Performance

• Extended batch runs and backups

• Escalating hardware investment

Implementing a Data Management Strategy

Implementing a well-managed Data Management Strategy can deliver real benefits:

• Reduced storage costs and processor power

  Required on leaner Production Servers

• Faster ERP Upgrades

  Because upgrade times are linked to data volumes

• Easier Test Environment data refreshes

  Will improve testing of system changes and modifications

• Improved user experience

  Due to faster response times

• Optimized Disaster Recovery

  Because smaller enterprise databases will be restored faster

• Better performing ERP system

  Proactive approach rather than reactive

• Active Data Management

  Means you see data volume trends over time which helps you to plan more accurately for future requirements

• Meaningful Data Retention Policy

  Contributes to your organizations legal compliance obligations. Your business is informed as to what data is kept and for how long.

Purge-it has Environment and Session Dashboards for users to monitor archive jobs and environment size.

The dashboard interface, available from within JD Edwards, makes navigating Purge-it quick and easy. Users don’t need to log out and log in to see the status of archiving jobs, to view the exception analysis, the audit data or to access archive data. Even the reversal functionality is accessed from within JD Edwards.

The environment dashboard shows you a complete picture of your JD Edwards environment as a whole.

Workbenches are used for set up and configuration options. The session dashboard is where you can see the current purges you are running and monitor their progress.

Why MASYC and Klik IT are working together to bring you Purge-it

We are excited to partner with Klik IT to bring this much needed data archiving solution to companies using JD Edwards World and EnterpriseOne.  MASYC and Klik IT share a huge depth and breadth of JD Edwards knowledge.  Klik IT has extensive expertise in purging and archiving JD Edwards data with hundreds of organizations of all sizes across the world.

What makes Purge-it unique?

• Purge-it has been developed exclusively for JD Edwards systems

  Everything is tailored to meet your users’ needs.

• Written entirely in the JD Edwards toolset

  The biggest factor in the usability of Purge-it, is that it’s written entirely in the JD Edwards toolset. It works completely within your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment.  There’s no external archiving tools at work.

• Straightforward to implement and use

  Not only is Purge-it straightforward to implement and use, but this makes it easy to retain the knowledge.

• Data integrity is maintained during and after archiving

  If a process is cancelled mid-way or reversed, your balances always add up. This is crucial because the data itself is all interlinked. Without the right solution you can quickly run into problems with your data.

• Easy Access to Archived Data

  Archive data is accessed through your JD Edwards production environment with Purge-it.

• Easy monitoring with session dashboards

  Monitoring archive jobs is easy thanks to the Purge-it environment and session dashboards.

• All versions of JD Edwards are supported

  The Purge-it archiving solution is available for all versions of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World.

• All data is processed at a document level

  This is an important part of the Purge-it functionality to note. For example, if we look at sales, Purge-it archives Sales Orders (SO) by processing one SO at a time. It reads the SO detail and for each line, it checks all tables to ensure it is complete, does not have any open values, and is not related to something that would cause it to be held up from archiving due to related module integrity.  Once the checks are complete, Purge-it moves the whole order into the archive database in one transaction boundary.  Purge-it then continues to process the next order. If you stop or cancel the job part way through, you never have part archived orders or tables.  The entire archive process is controlled, robust, and safe.

Purge-it is Validated by Oracle
