Purge Procedures

Following are descriptions of the steps for purging projects in Oracle Projects.

  1. Create a purge batch, or modify an existing purge batch. A purge batch is a list of projects whose data you want to purge and/or archive.

    See: Create a Purge Batch.

    To modify an existing purge batch, see Modifying a Purge Batch.

  2. Review and revise the list of projects in the batch. See: Review and Refine the List.

  3. Run the ADM: Validate Purge Batch process to determine whether the projects in the purge batch are eligible for purging. See: Validate the Projects in the Purge Batch.

  4. Release the batch for purging. (You cannot release a batch that contains errors.) See: Release the Purge Batch.

  5. Finally, run the purge process (ADM: Purge Project Data), which purges batches that have passed the validation process. See: Start the Purge Process.
