Running Database Maintenance Using Command Line Parameters

As more information is stored in the BarTender System Database, the database increases in size. In a heavy production environment, the amount of data contained in the database may affect system performance. Because of this, BarTender provides maintenance tasks that allow you to archive and/or remove old records from the BarTender System Database. These maintenance tasks can be run using command line parameters by running the System Database Setup application. The syntax of a command line for running the System Database Wizard is:

SystemDatabaseSetup.exe [Parameters]

There is a space between the "SystemDatabaseSetup.exe" and the first parameter. All parameters begin with a forward slash ( / ).
