Actually — I am wondering … do people agree with this fundamental assumption that the more records the worse the performance?
To me — that is only for “inefficient queries” and — for the most part - even if you archive — you will still have a slow system. Do people agree with that??? And if so — isn’t the right solution - to “fix the queries”. I know this — archiving "roughly doubles” the reporting headaches, workflow headaches, maintenance headaches. -John On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Ben Chernys < [email protected]> wrote: > ** > > Hi Folks, > > > > As enterprises have been using ITSM for some time now, they have > accumulated Incidents, Changes, and other “root requests” that are closed, > old, and can be archived.
