Use the Purge Schedule Detail program to purge scheduled events that you created on or before a designated date. Removing old data from the schedule detail file speeds up the scheduling process.
You must be assigned the SCHEDULER authorization key with one of the following levels to purge schedule detail:
Level 1 - Allows access to purge events that you created from your own schedule.
Level 2 - Allows access to purge events that you created from other users' schedules.
The program deletes normal and timeless events that occurred and repeating events that ended on or before the designated date.
To purge schedule detail:
From the Maintenance > Merge/Purge menu, select Purge Schedule Detail to display the Purge Schedule Detail screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
You can also display this screen by selecting Purge Schedule Detail on the System > Scheduler menu.
In the Purge As Of field, enter the last date to purge.
In the User ID field, specify the user whose schedule detail to purge. By default the system populates the field with your user ID.
Change the ID, as needed. Use the Multi hot key to specify multiple users.
Use one of the following hot keys to run the purge:
Begin - Purges events now.
Schedule - Schedules the purge for another time.
At the prompt Are You Sure You Want to Purge? Entries Will Be Unrecoverable After Purge, enterY.
The system deletes the designated entries and sends you a message indicating the number of deleted events.
