The Storage Bank File Compression program compresses bank detailed history entries down to one compressed entry for total withdrawals, accrual/increments and adjustments. The storage bank system must maintain the storage bank balances per year per employee. This process would be used to reduce the size of the storage bank history file. This process includes an option to specify only specific storage banks to be compressed.
The file SRB$OPSDAT0:PRBS01.DAT is the only file to be affected by this process.
A current backup of the payroll should be taken before beginning any compression for purge processing.
Note: You cannot compress records less than 4 years old.
This option is forced to batch and only be run when users are NOT active in the payroll - on the weekends or after 7 p.m. on Fridays.
