Purging SOAP Messages, Audits, and Logs

Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway allows you to purge SOAP messages, logs stored in the Oracle E-Business Suite database, and audit records that have been collected through Service Monitor for a period of time. Click Purge in the Service Monitor Search page to launch the Service Monitor Purge page.

Note: For log messages retrieved from Oracle SOA Suite's server file system, these log messages cannot be purged. For log messages coming from Oracle E-Business Suite API execution stored in the log message table, these logs can be purged from the Oracle E-Business Suite database.

Enter the following purge parameters in the Service Monitor Purge page:

Click Submit. A request number will be automatically assigned to you for your purge request indicating that your request has been submitted for processing. When your request is executed, all SOAP requests within your specified date range will be purged.

The monitored SOAP requests and responses will be purged in the following order of sequence:

  1. Purging SOAP requests

    This deletes all SOAP requests for the specified date range.

  2. Purging SOAP body

    This deletes the SOAP body including payload corresponding to those SOAP requests that have been purged (for the specified date range).

  3. Purging SOAP attachment

    This deletes all attachments associated with the SOAP requests and responses for the specified date range.

  4. Purging log messages from the Oracle E-Business Suite database

    This deletes only the logs for which the service is completed with a status of 'SUCCESS'. This does not delete the logs for the service with 'FAILURE' status.

    The purge is based on the Completion Date of the service for the specified date range.

  5. Purging composite instances from Oracle SOA Suite

    This deletes composite instances from Oracle SOA Suite for the specified date range.
