Disposed Asset Purge (AM330)

Run Disposed Asset Purge (AM330) to purge disposed assets and related records from Asset Management.

You can purge a single asset, a list of assets (using an attribute list), or use the other selection options to identify the asset records that you will purge (such as a disposal date range or the company, lease, location, or division).

Note: This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this program, back up the data according to your organization's procedures. Before you submit the AM330 job, carefully review the parameters. Lawson recommends you run AM330 in report only mode first (select No in the Release field).

Processing effect

If you select Yes in the Archive field, then AM330 generates comma-separated value (CSV) files in the work directory. The entire path and file name of all CSV files created prints at the end of the report. The CSV file names include a date and time stamp so files are not overwritten every time AM330 is run.

One CSV file is created for every database file where a record is being purged. The potential files where records are being purged are: AMASSET, AMASTITEM, AMASTBOOK, AMASSETADJ, AMASTITADJ, AMASTBKADJ, AMASSETTRF, AMASTITTRF, AMASTBKTRFK, AMASSETDSP, AMASTITDSP, AMASTBKDSP, AMASSETRIN, AMASTITRIN, AMASTBKRIN, AMTRANS, AMBKTRANS, AMBKHIST, AMBKHISTX, comments, URL's, AMASTRPAIR, AMASTMXVAL, AMPUHIS, AMASTRECAP (UNIX/Windows) or DBAMAST, DBAMASI, DBAMASB, DBAMASA, DBAMAIA, DBAMABA, DBAMATF, DBAMITR, DBAMABT, DBAMASD, DBAMADS, DBAMABD, DBAMRIN, DBAMRIT, DBAMRIB, DBAMAMT, DBAMABK, DBAMABH, DBAMABX, comments, URL's, DBAMASR, DBAMMXT, DBAMPUH, DBAMRCP (IBM i). The CSV file contains records for all the purged assets from that database file.
