   Purge criteria field value descriptions

   Field	Description
   Purge Code	Identifies a purge program. This is a system defined code.
   Description	Describes the type of purge.
   Rollback Segment	Defines the rollback segment that should be explicitly used for the purge transaction qualified by the purge code. This is useful when there are huge logical data sets that have to be purged. This is optional and used for order related purges.
   Retention Days	Enter the number of days of data to be retained in the database (going backwards from the time the program runs). Make sure that your table size takes into account the number of retention days entered here. When purging, the inventory purge considers the retention days.
   Write to Log File	Select this field if you want to log system messages for the status of the purge. The log can be backed up and used as a journal at a later date.
   Log File Name	Enter a log file name. The log file is created in the directory specified in the yfs.purge.path property. If this is not passed, it defaults to the value specified in the yfs.properties file. If a variable is introduced, then the yfs.purge.path is ignored. To modify this property, add an entry for it in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file.
