Purge Process

The system performs the following routine when purging log entries:

  • A record from the Interface Log File/table is read and the flag indicator checked to determine the record type.

    I indicates an imported record and E indicates an exported record.

  • The flag indicator is compared against your selection at the Selection of records to purge option.

    • If Import records only is selected and the record has a flag indicator of I, it is passed to the date check routine.
    • If Export records only is selected, and the record has a flag indicator of E, it is passed to the date check routine.
    • If Import and export records is selected, and the record has a flag indicator of I or E, it is passed to the date check routine.
    • If All records on log file is selected, then all records in the file are deleted with no further checking carried out (i.e. no date checking and no flag checking).

  • Date check routine.

    This routine determines if the record must be deleted according to its date.

    If the record's date is prior to the date indicated at the Purge log records prior to - Date field, the record is deleted.

    If the record's date is after the date indicated at the Purge log records prior to - Date field, the record is retained.

  • The next record is read and the process is repeated until the end of the Interface Log file is reached.
