Parameters

• parameter RESOURCE = "%Ens_PurgeSchedule:USE";
This specifies a security resource and optional permission. Access to the resource will be required to create, modify or run a task of this type. The format is ":". If is ommited, "USE" is implied. Note that this parameter cannot be overridden using the COSEXPRESSION parameter type.

Properties

• property BodiesToo as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Delete message bodies whenever their message header is deleted. This is off by default because some Productions may use message objects that are part of a larger environment and not transitory.
• property KeepIntegrity as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
Preserve messages not yet completely processed
• property NumberOfDaysToKeep as %Integer(MINVAL=0) [ InitialExpression = 7 ];
How many days of messages should not be purged
• property TypesToPurge as %String(DISPLAYLIST=",All Types,Events,Messages,Business Processes,Rule Logs,I/O Logs,Host Monitor Data,Managed Alerts",VALUELIST=",all,events,messages,processes,rulelogs,iologs,hostcounters,managedalerts") [ InitialExpression = "events",Required ];
The type of thing to purge
• property UseSystemMessagesLog as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Setting this property to 1 allows logging the purge status in the operator console messages (messages.log). This status can also be seen on the SMP under: System Operation->System Logs->Messages Log
• property optionalMessageLimitToConfigItems as %String(MAXLEN=10000);
A comma separated list of production host items that if defined will limit the purge to SourceConfigName or TargetConfigName contained in the list
• property optionalMessageWorkQueueBatchSize as %Integer;
If optionalMessageWorkQueueCategory then this gives the number of messages to split into multiple jobs (exclusive of completeness or config item name requirements) as starting batch lists. The default if not specified is 100000. The minimum count applied will be 10000
• property optionalMessageWorkQueueCategory as %String;
For purging messages it is possible to split the purge into multiple batches and submit to the Work Queue Manager. Specify a Work Queue Category name to use this feature. If an invalid category is entered then the Default category is used. The splitting of the purge into categories can be tuned using optionalMessageWQBatchSize

Methods

• method OnTask() as %Status
The OnTask() method is called to execute the task
• classmethod PurgeAll(pTypesToPurge As %String = "all", pNumberOfDaysToKeep As %Integer = 0, pBodiesToo As %Boolean = 1) as %Status
