Purging job and policy period data

Purge batch processing purges jobs and prunes policy periods that meet the purge and prune criteria from the PolicyCenter database. This process deletes jobs and other entities from the PolicyCenter database.

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter schedules the Purge work queue to run at 4:30 a.m. every night. However, Guidewire disables Purge batch processing in the base configuration. To use this batch processing type, you must first enable it.

It is possible to launch 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 Purge batch process.

Command prompt

Launch the Purge work queue from the PolicyCenter/admin/bin directory with the following command:

  maintenance_tools -password password -startprocess Purge

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.
