You use the eSignature Purge program to remove audit log entries held on file, based on the age of the entries.
You typically use this program to reduce the number of entries in the log file/table because this log file can consume excessive disk space after you have used the Electronic Signatures system for some time.
For further information on this topic, refer to Electronic Signatures.
