Here’s how the Macola ERP within data retention software,  PULSE UTILITIES, works:

1. The utility first creates a complete archive company in Macola prior to the start of the process. This is simply a copy of the company’s database which can be accessed for history purposes at any time. NO data is ever deleted.
   
2. The amount of data to be kept in the "production" company is based on the input from the Data Retention Worksheet below. Different types of data can be kept for different periods of time.
   
3. Using SQL scripts, the data retention procedure is then executed to remove any data from the production company that is older than the desired retention period. A test of the procedure and data validation is performed prior to execution in the live environment. Elapsed run time is typically less than 1 hour.
   
4. SQL maintenance is then performed to physically reduce the database size. Typical size reduction is 40-60%.
   
5. Subsequent performance of the process (e.g. yearly) removes additional records and inserts them into the archive company so that NO data is ever lost or deleted. The Data Retention process can also be run against the archive company, managing data stored there to different instructions (such as 7 years, for example). 

* These are recommended retention periods. These can be changed to fit your retention requirements.

CY+2 means retain Current Year data plus two years of history from the month the process is run.
