How does the “Keep Audit History” under security preferences work exactly? I understand it’s an integer of months, but….

Does it run immediately after saving?

Do I need to optimize the databse or anything to get it to trigger?

I have a LARGE audit history, many many GB and I know that if this triggers it will take a moment. I’d like to be minimally disruptive with my system. How do I use this function properly? How do I know it executed?

Hi @Michaelh 

According to Acumatica's definition:

“Keep Audit History for

An integer that represents the number of months the system should keep the audit history of user operations.The default value of the box is 999”

 

In Acumatica there are "Access History" and "Audit History" screens. "Keep Audit History" gives you the option to store the audit history of user operations.

I know WHAT it does. I want know when it executes.

I have 7 years of audit history, when I choose to keep less than 84 months of history, when will it execute that command? We have a MASSIVE audit history table, if this executes during operating hours, I fear it will create issues for my users.


Hi @Michaelh were you able to find a solution? Thank you!


I did not and it appears this function simply hides the data from users and doesn’t actually remove the data, so my Database is still massive.
