Use the Purge Settings page to empty the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler tables and file system. This operation will schedule the Application Engine program PRCSYSPURGE.
The PRCSYSPURGE program:
=> Updates statistics to all of the process request tables before deleting content.
=> Purges all process requests with a last update date that is past the Days Before Purge value for the specified run statuses.
=> Deletes all of the subdirectories in the Log_Output directory that are associated with the process requests that are purged from the process request table if the Purge Process Files option was selected.
=> Purges the report repository tables with expired dates, based on the specified number of retention days.
=> Deletes all directories from the report repository that are associated with processes that were purged from the report repository tables.
=> Schedules the Application Engine PRCSRVCLN program if more than one active Process Scheduler server exists. PRCSRVCLN refreshes the Log/Output directory for all active servers.
=> Purges the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI report repository.
