Hi

A customer has a database that is increaising size every day by a 1 or 3 GB.
I found that RecordHistory data of Items record, is enabled and every two o three seconds is storing a new update record, saying that record is updated. If I compare any of that updates against actual record, Standard ERP says that no field is updated.
The problem is that backup files is getting bigger every day.
I`m going to disable Login COntrol on that record, but I need to delete all record history information to clean and free some space while I try to find what is the problem.

How I can delete all that old data ?
While exporting a backup file, i found that RecordHistVc is increaing 5 million records every day and It get stuck in "Exporting old records" for some time, maybe 1 hour before finish backup.

I need urgent help

Hello, I did not see this as a problem in the newer versions. Have you had a chance to visit the new version and test it out ?...
