Description

Transaction Number

The last transaction number used in the transaction log appears. The system uses the transaction number to automatically generate a unique number for each transaction added to the transaction log from the transaction pages. System-generated transactions also use this field.

History Options

Determines whether a history of the transactions is saved when you run the Purge process (INPYPURG) on the transactions in the transaction log.

Options are:

History for all Transactions: The system maintains a history of all transactions in the transaction log.

History only for Errors: The system maintains a history only for transactions that have errors or warnings.

No history will be maintained: The system doesn't maintain a history for any transactions in the transaction log.

Status of Records to Purge

Determines which records the system purges when you run the Purge process.

Options are:

Complete: All rows for the transaction are either canceled or successfully processed.

Confirmed: Purges only rows set to a confirmed status. This entry should be selected only if you have modified the interacting system to set the status of transactions to confirmed after making sure that the PeopleSoft system has processed the transaction to a complete status.

File Suffix

Used as the suffix for the file name of the label extraction file, when a format ID is not specified on the label generation page.

Note: If your interacting system is selecting Complete transactions to mark them as being ready to purge, the BCT_STATUS on BCT_CTL should be updated from 2 (complete) to 6 (confirmed).
