Data Retention and Purge Handling

We've added an enhancement that allows you to control the retention period for the tables that we purge. See the following links for more details:

• Introduce Option to Purge Retention Period
• Supported in Purge Handling
• Extract Data for Cloud Object Store using a REST API

Since WMS is an execution system, with transactional data generally created by external systems such as ERPs, and interfaced into WMS, there is no archiving of purged data. Customers wanting to save such data can use the multiple data extraction mechanisms to extract and save the data. Refer to the WMS Data Extraction Guide or Extract Data for Cloud Object Store using a REST API.

• Note that there are many internal tables in which WMS creates records during normal processing, that are automatically purged on a more frequent basis. Users normally never see this data. These are not the actual transaction tables used for storing WMS entities like orders, shipments, inventory etc.
