Pulse Archive

Speeds up Macola® processing by automatically moving old and unneeded data to a secondary Macola® database — following your retention policy, and with archived data always available through standard screens and reports.
Overview¶
Macola® is a high-performance system, but as years of history accumulate, everyday tasks naturally take longer and longer. Pulse Archive keeps your live database lean: it removes unneeded data from your Macola® database and archives it to another Macola® database, then re-indexes your data files for optimum performance.
Archiving is a move, not a purge. You choose how many months of data to retain for each set of files; each month, the archive and re-indexing process moves anything older into your archive database. Nothing is deleted — archived data can be accessed at any time in the future using standard Macola® screens and reports.
Pulse Archive pairs naturally with Pulse SystemPRO: SystemPRO optimizes the database engine and cleans up bad data, while Archive keeps the active database small. Together they keep Macola® running like new.
