Enrolment Statistics Snapshots are created when the process STAJ8000 is run. This may be as often as nightly. Each Snapshot requires the storage of large volumes of data. It is likely that only a small proportion of the Snapshots created need to be saved for future reference.

The Statistics Specialist can determine which Snapshots should be saved, 'flagging' these Snapshot records by deselecting the Delete check box for each, using STAF8000.

When this job is run, only Snapshots with their Delete check box still set will be deleted.

This form is accessed through the main menu.

 

The Delete VET Enrolment Statistics Snapshots block contains:

Once the specified number is reached, all of the remaining Snapshots with their Delete check box set are deleted, while remaining Snapshots with their Delete check box deselected are added to the set of retained Snapshots.
