Changing trends
Recently, we’ve seen a growing trend and requirement to remove, in other words, purge JD Edwards data that has passed its useful life. Previously, the tendency was more towards archiving JD Edwards data from the production system but ultimately still retaining the data.
This changing trend has lead us to introduce a ‘fuller’ data lifecycle management (DLM) approach. Simplified functionality introduced in Purge-it Version 5.2 makes it easier to completely remove old data from the archive, based on retention dates selected by the organization.
We refer to this new functionality as ‘Archive the archive’ or ‘Purge the archive’
All the standard Purge-it modules control the full data archiving lifecycle. Initially the JD Edwards data is archived, then optionally, once the data is no longer required it can be purged from the archive.
New functionality
Purge-it Version 5.2 allows for a more sophisticated approach to data archiving. JD Edwards users can set up a tiered approach to data archiving in accordance with their company’s chosen data retention dates.
Tiered approach to Data Archiving
Let’s consider an example to illustrate how the new tiered approach could work for a business.
According to ACME Company’s Data Retention Policy, 10 years of JD Edwards data must be retained and the data must be accessible.
ACME Company’s Tiered Data Archiving
- Three years of JDE data, plus the current year’s data is retained in the production system
- Seven years of data is archived with Purge-it
- Data older than the stipulated 10 years is purged from the JD Edwards system. This is set up as an automated task in the JD Edwards scheduler, known as Purge-it Archive Automation
- 10 years of data is retained and accessible
How does this change work?
Purge-it supports two archive locations in the standard modules:
- Primary Archive – Repository for archived Production data
- Secondary Archive – Repository for archived archive data
♦ When running a Purge-it Standard Module, a new processing option value denotes whether the archive process is being run over Production, Primary Archive or Secondary Archive.
♦ When running a Purge-it Standard Module over the Primary or Secondary Archive location(s), a new processing option value will denote whether you are purging the data, or archiving it to the Secondary Archive location.
♦ Changes to the Session Dashboard identify the locations being processed by archive jobs image.
♦ Changes to the Audit Reports identify the locations being processed by archive jobs.
Important points to note
- Consideration should be taken as to whether to backup archive data before completely removing (purging) it
- As with all Purge-it functionality, these additional steps are fully auditable.

Summary
Archive the Archive allows JDE data that has already been archived, to be re-processed from that archive location and moved to a secondary archive or to be purged.
We refer to this as ‘Archive the archive’ or ‘Purge the archive’.
Advances in the Purge-it Data Archiving solution are primarily driven by feedback from customers and from the JD Edwards community. Increasingly, customers have a requirement to purge the archive.
This change is driven by two main factors:
- The JD Edwards data being end of life and holding little to no business benefit
- Company Data Retention policies deeming that retaining very old data introduces risk to the business due to changing data compliance laws.
