Backup Transaction Database
Before purging the transaction database, make a copy of it, so that you have an archive of
the transactions, in case the purge process fails or is interrupted.
Before performing this task, you should have synchronized offline transactions (if
offline processing is enabled at your site). See “Synchronize Offline Transactions” on
page 13-3.
The location of the Transaction database varies depending on the directory chosen for
installation of the ILS software. The base directory for the ILS software is usually
C:\RFID. The Transaction database file is always located at
RFID\Applications\DB\TransCoord\transaction.mdb.
To create a backup copy of the transaction database:
1 Right-click Start and select Explore to open Windows Explorer.
2 Navigate to the RFID\Applications\DB\TransCoord\ directory.
3 Right-click transaction.mdb and select Copy.
4 Navigate to the folder where you want to store the backup copy.
5 Right-click the white space within that folder's file listing and select Paste.
6 After the file is pasted into the directory, rename the backup file. Highlight the file
name and press F2.
7 Type the new name of the backup file. Be sure to retain the .mdb extension. Press
Enter.
8 Go to the next step, “Purge the Transaction Database”, which follows this section.
