iVend Retail 6.6 - Management Console - Help Manual > Administration > IT Administration

Purge Data

This feature enables the administrator to start the data purge activity at the stores. Using this system administrator can generate an event for doing a data purge at the store.

The feature is generally used in the scenarios where stores are using SQL Server Express Edition. Due to size limitations of a SQL Server Express Edition database, administrator would like to keep the store database size in check and therefore this activity is performed.

This menu option is available only on iVend Enterprise. Using this option would delete the transactional information from the store database.

To open the window, choose Administrator > IT Administration > Purge Data.
