The next SMART upgrade is not scheduled until the 4th quarter of calendar year 2020. During this window between upgrades, the SMART Team will be embarking on a project to do the first purge of system data since go-live in July 2010. The project is currently in the test phase and is expected to run through early 2020.
The purge is being conducted for several reasons:
- To prevent the SMART data tables from becoming so large that they impact system performance
- To avoid additional database storage charges
- To adhere to State record retention requirements
Thank you to all agency staff who participated in the survey that went out in September.
