Archiving/Unarchiving Transactions
Archiving
Archiving transactions allows you to remove transactions from the punch file reducing the
overall size of the file. Depending on the number of transactions archived you should notice an
increase in system response time.
The archive file is called “Punch$.DBF”. It is located in C:\Atr9800\Data\ directory.
To archive transactions: From the main menu select “Utilities”. On the utility screen select
“Punches” from the table listings on the right. Click the archive icon and the archive parameter
screen appears. Fill in the desired parameters and click the check button. The selected
transactions will then be removed from the punch file and placed in the “Punch$.dbf” file.
There will be no visual indication that this has taken place.
If transactions are archived and put on another medium they must be put back in the
Atr9800\Data directory before they can be unarchived. They must be replaced with the same
file name.
