Update Process

  • The process physically deletes those job requests with a status of either COMPLETE or CANCELLED, where the status has not changed in the specified number of days.

 

Run Details

This job is typically run:

  • as a standing request in an off-peak run widow
  • as frequently as the institution's data management regime requires

 

Job Parameters

The single parameter, Number of Days Since Request Modified, refers to the elapsed days between the date when the status of the request last changed and the current date.

Good practise would be to set this parameter to equal, or slightly exceed, the frequency with which this job is run by a standing request. For example, where this job is set to run monthly, set the parameter to 31 or 32.
