Managing traffic data

Partner Manager enables you to archive and purge the traffic record data in your Partner Manager database. (These records represent the Partner Manager e-commerce traffic.) Larger databases may slow down processing and result in unmanageable numbers of entries in each traffic report.

Partner Manager provides the following information management options that enable you to:

  • Purge data from the Current traffic tables
  • Purge data from the Online Archive traffic tables
  • Archive data from the Current traffic tables to the Online Archive tables
  • Archive data from the Current traffic tables to the zip file archives
  • Archive data from the Online Archive tables to the zip file archives
  • Restore data from a zip file archive
