Purging batch process history data

Process History Purge batch processing deletes batch process history data from the PolicyCenter ProcessHistory table. The process uses configuration parameter BatchProcessHistoryPurgeDaysOld to determine the number of days to retain batch process history before deletion. By default, Guidewire sets the value of BatchProcessHistoryPurgeDaysOld to 45 days.

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter schedules the ProcessHistoryPurge batch process to run on the third day of the month at 3:30 a.m.

It is possible to launch Process History Purge batch processing from within PolicyCenter, or, directly from a command prompt.

PolicyCenter	Navigate to the Server Tools Batch Process Info screen and run the Process History Purge batch process.
Command prompt	Launch the Purge Workflows batch process from the PolicyCenter/admin/bin directory with the following command: `maintenance_tools -password password -startprocess ProcessHistoryPurge` 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.
