Possible settings are in the 1 – 90 days range. There are also two options for the time of day to perform the pruning task and to Prune Now. Server cc_trans records that are that number of days or older are deleted from the data. In addition, the CardOnFile, Card_no, and Exp_date fields in the sh_save.pmthistory that are that number of days or older are deleted, as is the data between the pr_info, pr_out, card_no, and exp_date tags in the ww_sales.sale_text field. For pruning of the server data to function in an automated fashion on a daily basis, you are required to create a new SQL Server Agent job to execute the siriussp_AutoTasks stored procedure every fifteen minutes. See http://portal.siriusware.com/docs/kb-pdf/Database_SQL_and_data-related/charge_cards_2010_aug_20.pdf for instructions on how to set up a SQL Server agent job.
