Purging orphaned policy period data

Purge Orphaned Policy Periods batch processing finds orphaned policy periods (policy periods not associated with a specific job) and deletes them from the PolicyCenter database. The process deletes policy periods and other entities from the PolicyCenter database.

PolicyCenter does not schedules the PurgeTransactionIDs work queue in the base configuration. You must either run this process manually or add the work queue to file scheduler-config.xml.

It is possible to launch Purge Orphaned Policy Periods 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 Orphaned Policy Periods batch process.

Command prompt

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

  maintenance_tools -password password -startprocess PurgeOrphanedPolicyPeriods

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.
