This job is used to remove from the System, extracts that have been recorded for greater than a specified period of time. For example, the job could be run nightly to delete all statement of account extract entries older than 28 days.

Run Details

This job is typically run:

  • As a standing request in an 'off-peak' run window
  • As frequently as the institution's Data Management regime requires, although it is recommended that the job be set to run approximately monthly
