Generic Purge Task

The generic purge task attempts to purge records that reach their expired time from specific database tables. Consider the following when configuring this task to purge records from the database:

• Configure the task to run automatically on a scheduled basis to ensure the tables in the database are kept current. This also minimizes the volume of data stored in the database.
• Create a new task configuration for each table handle to be purged, even though this task can be run concurrently. This helps avoid database contention issues.

The following steps are necessary to implement the generic purge task in the Services Framework:

1. Register the generic purge task
2. Configure the generic purge task
   1. Set the appropriate configuration parameters for purge processing
3. Schedule the generic purge configuration to run on a recurring basis
