Purge and archive jobs

Change Auditor provides several options that allow you to schedule both the purging of events from your database and archiving older data to an archive database. Automating database cleanup allows you to keep critical and relevant data online and current while eliminating or archiving events that are no longer required. This not only prevents your database from growing in size, but it increases overall operational efficiency by speeding up searches and data retrieval from the database.

Using the purge options, you can define and schedule jobs that will eliminate events from the database based on the following criteria:

select to create a yearly archive database for older events that are no longer required to be represented in your reports.

Starting job: Displays when the purge, archive, or purge and archive job is beginning.
