Purging workflow log data

Purge Workflow Logs batch processing deletes completed workflow logs. It does not remove workflow records, only workflow log records. The process uses Gosu class PurgeWorkflowLogs, in conjunction with configuration parameter WorkflowLogPurgeDaysOld, to determine the number of days to retain the workflow logs before deletion. By default, Guidewire sets the value of WorkflowLogPurgeDaysOld to 30 days.

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter schedules the PurgeWorkflowLogs batch process to run on the first day of each month, at 2:30 a.m.

It is possible to launch the Purge Workflow Logs batch process from within PolicyCenter, or, directly from a command prompt.

PolicyCenter

Navigate to the Server Tools Batch Process Info screen and run the Purge Workflow Logs batch process.

Command prompt

Launch the Purge Workflow Logs batch process from the PolicyCenter/admin/bin directory with the following command:

  maintenance_tools -password password -startprocess PurgeWorkflowlogs

The PolicyCenter administration command prompt tools all require that you enter the password of an administrative user for the tool to work. The use of a user name is optional.
