Purging the Database

Old document tracking records should be purged periodically to prevent the Kofax Front-Office

Server database from growing too large and affecting performance.

Enterprise Installations

For Enterprise installations using Oracle or SQL Server databases, you can use an administration

tool to purge the desired records. You can, for example, purge records with older creation dates or

those with backenddocumentid entries which indicate the documents were successfully released

to the destination. You can delete records directly from the doctracking_scanjob table.

Departmental Installations

To purge the Departmental installation embedded database, you can use the KFS_db_cleanup.bat

file. You can specify a threshold for removing records (such as removing records older than three

days). The batch file is in the \OtherResources\DBCleanup folder where Kofax Front-Office

Server is installed, and it needs to be run from that folder. You can edit the file to change its

settings.

Note

Allow sufficient time for the batch file to run. If you specified a large number of records, the

batch file could take time to complete.

DAYS_OLD_THRESHOLD
