Periodically Purging To Do Entries

Completed To Do entries should be periodically purged from the system by executing the TD-PURGE background process. This background process offers you the following choices:

You can purge all To Do entries older than a given number of days.
You can purge a specific To Do type's To Do Entries that are older than a given number of days.

We want to stress that there is no system constraint as to the number of Completed To Do entries that may exist. You can retain these entries for as long as you desire. However, you will eventually end up with a very large number of Completed entries and these entries will cause the various To Do background processes to degrade over time. Therefore, you should periodically purge Completed To Do entries as they exist only to satisfy auditing and reporting needs.

Note: Different retention periods for different types of To Do entries. Keep in mind that the purge program allows you to retain different types of entries for different periods of time. For example, you could keep bill segment errors for a short amount of time (as they tend to be voluminous), but keep disputed open item events for a longer period.
