Database Maintenance

Selected issues can be completely removed from a FootPrints Workspace using the Database Maintenance feature. Specifically, issues that have been changed to the Deleted status are good candidates for archiving since Issues that have spent significant time as Deleted are no longer needed on a regular basis, but can be stored for reference information. These issues can be stored as read-only in a separate archive Workspace, which is useful for cleaning up the database by removing obsolete issues from a Workspace. Fewer issues in a Workspace leads to faster searching and reporting times, speeding up database access times.

Important

Make a backup of your FootPrints database before performing any purge function.

NOTE

Enabling archiving uses one workspace, and counts towards the limitation of three workspaces for BMC customers who own the Base Starter Pack. Please contact your salesperson for details on obtaining the Extended Starter Pack.

Topics covered in this section include:

• Archiving data from current workspace
• Purging data from current workspace
• Working in the archive workspace
