Archiving and purging data

Edit online

webMethods B2B Integration archives the transactional data present in the production database by moving them from production tables to archive tables. By default, the data retention period for archived transactions is 30 days.

When webMethods B2B Integration archives a document, it copies the document and its references from production table to archival table. It then removes the document and its references from the production table. By default, webMethods B2B Integration runs the archival schedule at Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) 00:00 (24-hour format) daily. You can update the default archive schedule.

You can purge transactional data from the archive tables. Purging is the process of systematically deleting the transactional data that exists beyond the retention days from the archive tables.

When webMethods B2B Integration purges transactional data that exists beyond the retention days, it removes all the associated information. This information includes the content, sender and receiver information, from the archive tables. You must have administrator privileges to create a daily schedule to purge the data.

webMethods B2B Integration archives and purges the following information that is related to transactional data:

  • Transaction Summary
  • Tasks
  • Attributes
  • Content
  • Activity logs
  • Activity log content
