How to Archive Transactions
Database Archive Utility
Introduction
This Utility lets you archive transactions (Normal, Status and Alarms), placing the transactions in a separate archived Database. We recommend that you run the Database Archive Utility on a regular basis. Running the Utility regularly keeps your Database below the maximum recommended database size of 2 GB.
This action has the following major benefits:
- Manages the size of the Database, freeing up space on the PC.
- Keeps a cleaner, uncluttered Database.
Keeps Database performance at optimum speed.
Opening and Using the Database Archive Utility
1. In the PC where Nexus220 software is running go to C:\Nexus220\Bin\Database Archive.
2. Enter your Username (SYSDBA) and Password (masterkey).
Select the Archive Date
NOTE: This is the end date for the archive. Your newly archived database will therefore contain all transactions for this date and earlier.

2. In the calendar dialog, click on the Month drop-down list and select the desired month from the list.
