Data purging
The purging control programs are ARP000, DSP000. ARP000 calls all AR purge programs which are run from batch using XAR submitter. DSP000 calls all the Sales and Stock Purges. Prior to running the purges the user is prompted, to confirm the purges must be run and whether or not to run file reorganization.
DSP000 will call the Purge Coupons/Order Based Bonus Rules program which will purge Coupon Code File and Order Based Bonus Rule File when a bonus rule expires and a retention period passed and if a coupon is defined on the rule and no order uses the coupon.
Purges can be run as and when a user determines they are necessary. They can be run adhoc or included in the period end processing by adding them to a weekly or monthly process.
