Purging Data

Access the Available Versions form.

Use this procedure to run any of the purge programs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system (with the exception of the Close Text Lines purge).

To purge data:

Select a version.
On Table Conversion Prompting, select the Properties option and click Submit.
On the properties window, select the Select Environments tab.
Select the From and To environments, which enable you to specify the environment from which to purge data and the environment in which to store purged data.
Select the Data Selection tab and specify the information to purge.
The system automatically displays processing options for the purge program.
Click OK.
Complete the processing options according to these guidelines:
- For the first processing option, enter 1 to save purged records.
  You cannot save purged records unless you have created a purge environment. If you leave this processing option blank, the system deletes all purged records.
- For the second processing option, enter a new name for the environment that stores purged records.
  By renaming the environment before you run a purge program, you can store the records from each purge separately. Otherwise, the system overwrites the data each time that you run the purge program. Before completing this processing option, ensure that you have specified that you want the system to save purged records. After completing this processing option, you must complete the third processing option, which enables you to enter the data source name.
- For the third processing option, enter the name of the data source for the purged records.
  Before completing this processing option, ensure that you have specified that you want the system to save purged records and that you have entered a new environment name.
To run the purge program, click OK.
To exit without running the purge program, click Cancel.
