Purging Transcripts

Important! The COBOL transcript process is a deprecated product. It is strongly recommended that you use the Application Engine transcript process instead. For more information on the Application Engine transcript process, see Understanding Transcript-Related Processes.

This section lists a prerequisite and discusses how to purge transcript reports.

To purge transcripts, use the Purge Transcript Reports component.

Note: The Transcript Purge (RUNCTL_SRTRPURG) component still exists in the system.

Use this component to purge COBOL based transcripts.

Before you can purge transcript requests and transcripts, you must create transcript requests.
