Scheduling repository purges


You can automate repository purges by scheduling the purge function in the console to run on a routine basis.

You can set the frequency, the start time, and the end time for the function.

Warning

Note

When the PURGE function is executed, an internal function is scheduled to purge (delete) data from the repository. The PURGE function should be scheduled to execute after a repository backup.

By default, the purge function is scheduled to occur daily between 1:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M. If the purge function does not start between 1:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M., it is scheduled for the next execution of the function.

To schedule the purge function, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Navigation window, right-click the IMSPLEX object and choose Configuration > Schedules.
  2. In the Schedules window, double-click the PURGE function table row.
  3. In the Edit Schedules dialog box, specify parameters and click Save.
