Enable External Purge in IBM B2B Sterling Integrator

Starting an External Purge

Procedure : 

1. If you have a cluster installation, make sure that you are not running the external purge on another node of the cluster. If you are running the external purge on more than one node, it will cause database locks.

Important: It is the customer's responsibility to keep exactly one of these external purge processes running in the cluster. If you need to shut down the hardware that is running the external purge, you must run the external purge on a different node.

2. Disable the default Purge service. Click Deployment > Schedules, search for PurgeService, and then clear the Enabled checkbox for PurgeService.

Note : If you have customized the Schedule_PurgeService business process, you need to add your customized code to the new Schedule_PurgeService business process. The new Schedule_PurgeService business process includes a warning message about running the external purge while the scheduled new purge is enabled.

3. Turn off the "Important Schedules are Disabled" email notifications by adding the following line to the customer_overrides.properties file. This removes the Purge Service SQL query for the schedule.

resourceMonitor.ScheduleMonitor.propertyValue.1=SELECT STATUS, SERVICENAME FROMSCHEDULE_WHERE_SERVICENAME_IN('BackupService','IndexBusinessProcessService','AssociateBPsToDocs',' BPRecovery','BPLinkagePurgeService')
