To all,
I know Lawson provides a series of programs under each program area that can be used to purge active data to off-line CSV files. I suppose those CSV files can then be loaded to another database for use with reporting tools such as Crystal Reports.
We have about three years of data in our production system (since going live in July 2004) and we are exploring data purging/archiving solutions, including the possibility of coming up with our own "home-grown" process.
Can anyone shed some light on this dark subject? What Lawson data archiving/purging processes have you implemented within your organizations? Any horror stories? Any success stories? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Slight Horror story:
We are a hospital organization. With that we have certain legal requirements that we need to meet... we've looked at doing the purging here, (our DBA's loved the idea) and have actually gotten our Materials folks to try it in our training environment. For whatever reason (and I appologize for not knowing it) it was tried, and then quickly dropped. I suspect that all of the data in Lawson is now so interconnected, that by dumping off some of the (for example) IC transactions, affected other areas that still needed that data to reside in the database.
