Purge Scope

Purge is designed to quickly delete large volume of data by utilizing the available capacity across the TIBCO MDM cluster. The data to be deleted is split into multiple batches and processed in parallel.

The purge batches are distributed using the AsyncCall JMS Queue, and therefore can be executed in any of the TIBCO MDM instances in the cluster.

The scope of purge is controlled by the parameters specified in FileWatcher or through the Purge Activity. For more details on the parameters, refer to Purge Activity in TIBCO MDM Workflow Guide.

Irrespective of how the purge is executed, an event is created to track the status and summary of the purge. The event captures all the inputs and results of the purge and can be viewed using the Event Log. When the purge completes, the event status is updated to success or failure.
