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 that is contained in the database may affect system performance. Because of this, BarTender provides maintenance tasks that you can use to archive and/or remove old records from the BarTender System Database. You can run these maintenance tasks by using command line parameters in the System Database Setup application. The syntax of a command line for running the System Database wizard is as follows:

SystemDatabaseSetup.exe [Parameters]

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