Perform system maintenance functions to keep your Universe database, system applications, and system machine running smoothly.
Monitor the system functions through the system's activity log, which records activities such as file backups, and through system reporting. Use system maintenance reports to verify file backups, identify disk free space, record system activity and errors, read process status, and generate performance statistics.
Use the merge and purge utilities to free up disk space on your system. You can merge new product records with old ones, and then purge the old product records. You can also purge expired entries from logs, expired price sheets and system records, and report writer save-lists.
Use the Eclipse Dictionary and File Definition Maintenance to define and access all system data. Data files hold all of your system records. You can define your own files to store additional information. Dictionaries in the system apply instructions and rules to files in order to translate data into readable information. Set up maintenance logs to record file activity.
Only the system administrator and Eclipse personnel should perform system maintenance. The system administrator has complete access to the system and can lock other users out of the system in order to perform maintenance.
