Purge Orphaned Policy Periods batch process

The Purge Orphaned Policy Periods batch process finds orphaned policy periods, which are policy periods not associated with a job. Preempted jobs create orphaned policy periods.

For each orphaned policy period, this batch process calls the following method in the PurgePlugin plugin interface:

skipOrphanedPolicyPeriodForPurge method that signals not to purge an orphaned policy period.

Note: If you do not wish to purge orphaned policy periods, do not enable the Purge Orphaned Policy Periods batch process. Customizing the skipOrphanedPolicyPeriodForPurge method is not an effective way to disable purging orphaned policy periods.
