Prune policy periods with the purging test tool

About this task

After selecting a job with the Purging Test tool, the policy periods attached to the selected job appear in the Prune -- Purge Policy Period(s) section. This section displays the following information about each policy period:

Field	Description
Policy Period	The version number of the policy period, and whether it is the selected policy period.
Period Start	The policy period start date.
Period End	The policy period end date.
Period Status	The policy period status.
DoNoDestroy (period)	The value of the `DoNotDestroy` flag.
Flip DoNotDestroy bit	A button to toggle the `DoNotDestroy` flag on this policy period.

Procedure

To prune policy periods without checking to see if the policy period is eligible for pruning, select Skip checks for purging policy period.

If you choose to skip checks, then the policy period is pruned regardless of the Subtype, Close Date, or Coverage End.

If you did not choose to skip checks, then the policy period is pruned based on the current configuration, including the PurgePlugin implementation.
Click Purge in the row of the policy period you wish to prune.

The Purge button is enabled for unselected policy period versions.

PolicyCenter does not run the Purge batch process, but performs equivalent actions to prune the selected policy period. The purge or prune accesses the configuration parameters, and runs the PurgePlugin implementation.
