Table records in Ax2012

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Folks,

I have some tables where records are crossing over 7 million. I cannot delete any of these records & currently have no data warehousing in place.

Please suggest

1.What is the max number of records Ax table can handle before it starts impacting performance.

2.Considering i cannot delete any record, should the best alternative way be to introduce data warehousing & move older data to other db periodically, if so then how user will access thsi old data in Ax once moved to data warehousing db.

3.I could only find 1 out of box clean up job, please let me know if there are any out of box cleaning job for list below

TableName RowCount Out of box cleanup available Out of box job name
[dbo].[WORKFLOWTRACKINGARGUMENTTABLE] 7 millon plus Could not find  
[dbo].[WORKFLOWTRACKINGCOMMENTTABLE] 7 millon plus Could not find  
[dbo].[WORKFLOWTRACKINGTABLE] 7 millon plus Could not find  
[dbo].[GENERALJOURNALACCOUNTENTRY] 5 millon plus Could not find  
[dbo].[EVENTCUD] 5 millon plus Could not find

    I am not aware of any limit defined on row count of the table. I have seen more than 35 million records in some GL tables and we did not face any major performance issue because the maintenance plan for those table was in place.

    If you plan to move that data to data warehouse then you can provide reports to user , if they want to see that data.

    If there is no standard clean up then you have to create your own clean up, however you have to  be cautious  while working with tables like vendtrans and vendsettlement.

    Hi Mav,

    EventCUD table should be cleaned by "Change based alerts" batch job.

    @Sukrut Can you please share what maintenance plan you had for tables having millions record.

    @Sergei Minozhenko based alert batch jobs calls this class EVENTJobCud  & i dont find any method in that class which would delete records from EventCUD table, please correct me if i m wrong.

    @Will Wu Db size is 340 gb

    At times some workflow will get stuck and wont process until i restart the AOS's hence was wondering if this is due to more than 6 million data in workflow tables.

    Will trying reindexing or db synch  or any other option under sys admin >periodic>database >sql administration work help.
