# Rattail Utilities for LOC SMS
The following Rattail utilities are designed for use with [[https://www.locsoftware.com/|LOC SMS]].
## Data Snapshots
First please note that the "data snapshot" referred to here is ''not'' a true backup/restore solution. (You should use the native SMS tools for that.)
For development and testing purposes, it seems (to me) useful to obtain a copy of production data for use in the test environment. Since a complete SMS backup would include data records for terminals (`TER_TAB`) and targets (`STO_TAB`), etc. (i.e. things which may be undesirable in the testing environment), the utilities below are designed to be more selective. They hopefully include ''useful'' data but nothing which may interfere with the test(s).

* [Restore Data from Snapshot](Utilities-LOCSMS-RestoreData.-)
## Deploy Hooks
An installable SMS "option" is available which will export CSV data when changes are deployed. See the link for more info.
* [DEPLOY_RATTAIL Option for SMS](Utilities-LOCSMS-DeployRattail.-)
## Purge "non-PAL" Records
In a multi-store environment, it sometimes happens that your SMS host database can become cluttered with various types of product records with a target (F1000) other than 'PAL' and which you would prefer go away. There's a tool for that:
