Purging old transaction ID data

Purge Old Transaction IDs batch processing deletes SOAP header transaction IDs generated by systems external to PolicyCenter. Guidewire does not schedule this batch process in the base configuration as the table that stores the transaction IDs takes very little space in the database. Unless there is a constant buildup of these transaction IDs, there is no real need to continually purge this data. In fact, if you do purge this data, it is then not possible to determine if a new transaction is a duplicate of a transaction sent by the external system at an earlier date.

It is possible to launch Purge Old Transaction IDs batch processing from within PolicyCenter, or, directly from a command prompt.

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