Performing a Forced Purge
You can perform a forced purge of Syslog messages, as required.
If you access a table either through immediate reports, report jobs or by any other means, the database
locks the table and therefore the table will not be successfully purged. However, during the successive
purge operations such a table will be purged.
To perform a forced purge:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Syslog > Force Purge.
The Force Purge dialog box appears.
Step 2 Enter the information required to perform a Forced Purge:
Field Description
Purge records older than Enter the number of days. Only the records older than the number of days that you specify here,
will be purged. This is a mandatory field.
If the data of a particular day is being accessed either through immediate reports, report jobs, or
by any other means, it will not be purged. However, during the successive purge operations this
data will be purged.
Scheduling

• If you select Immediate, all the other options will be disabled for you.
