Design Overview

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

Thread assignment program will filter eligible records from open-to-buy (OTB) table based on calculated End-of-Week purge date as derived from the current date which is at least one half old. The current and previous half's OTB data is retained and kept in the system. 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 open-to-buy (OTB) table. 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.
