Presented at BLUEPRINT 4D 2024
Session ID: P-025180
MDC Holdings is one of the top homebuilders in the United States. Since going live with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in 2010: they had accumulated mass amounts of data and needed a way to archive financial records and purchase orders. MDC chose to use Essentio’s Archivist tool to build a custom solution to archive records based on their Homebuilder data. Join this session to learn about Archivist and how MDC has benefited from the partnership with Essentio. MDC will share their process to determine what tables needed to be archived: how they develop custom archive rules based on Community close date using Essentio’s Archivist Software: changed selected E1 reports to pull from Production and Archive databases: and improved year-end rollover based on data reduction.MDC had accumulated excessive older data that was slowing down the close process: queries: reports and back-ups. Additionally: F0902 records were rolling over every year causing increased growth for inactive accounts. MDC undertook an archive project to remove excess data and improve performance.
