PRINT/PURGE PROCESS HISTORY

Use this screen to print or purge the history of processes that have been executed on the process server.

The Process History report prints information related to each process including Process, Process Description, Parameters ID, Parameters Description, Start Time, stopped time, and any messages from the function being executed. You can also purge the process history from the database using the criteria that you select. You should run the Purge function routinely to clear unwanted process histories.

Note: Data for this report is available only if you selected the Save Process History checkbox in the System Settings screen in Costpoint System Administration.

You cannot print or purge the process history unless processes have been executed on the process server.
