Purge Process Log

The Process Log is a record of all report inputs, warnings and errors that develop while running jobs. You may want to delete log files that are older than a certain date, in order to save disk space.

To purge the process log:

• Select Purge Process Log from the System menu in Graphical Utilities to display the Purge Process Log screen.

  
• Enter the cutoff date and log type.

  Field	Type	What to enter
  CUTOFF DATE	date	Enter the cutoff date. Only processes that occurred on or before this date are purged. Choose a cutoff date 30-45 days prior to the current date. Process log information should be retained for at least 30 days for error tracking purposes.
  LOG TYPE	predefined	Indicate what should be included in the report: info (general information about processes started and completed, etc.), warning (minor errors which do not affect data integrity), error (a more significant problem which may affect data integrity), or fatal (an error which causes some or all processing activity or printing to cease or be skipped). Enter “*” to multi-select log types.

• Click OK and then Continue to begin the purge.
