Design Overview

This background job is composed of two steps processing. It will have a threading assignment and a business logic processing.

Thread assignment program will filter eligible records from competitive price history and competitive shipping list tables based on its purge criteria from system parameter settings. The Competitive Pricing List Days parameter will determine how long a requested shopping list should remain on the shopping list table if it is not complete by the requested shop date. These records are chunked and Thread ID is assigned for each. They will be stored temporarily in a staging table.

The Business logic program will process all records from the staging table. Using bulk processing, this program will delete the records from competitive price history and competitive shipping list tables. It will free up and clean the staging table afterwards. There is a STOP ON NEXT feature in bulk processing (through a loop) where Administrators can stop this batch with a flip of this indicator.
