Purge planning data

The PURGE_PLANNING_DATA program considers these input parameters:

TABLE_NAME

The name of the table to be deleted.

Note: If this parameter is specified:

• An existing entry must be available with the specified table name in the SZ_REG_TABLE table. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if an entry with the specified table_name value is not available in the SZ_REG_TABLE table.
• Only one of the TABLE_NAME, TABLE_GROUP_NAME, or TABLE_AREA can be used at a time. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if more than one parameter is specified.

TABLE_GROUP_NAME

The name of the table group to be deleted.

Note: If this parameter is specified:

• An existing entry must be available in the SZ_REG_TABLE_GROUP table. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if the entry with the specified table_group_name value is not available in the SZ_REG_TABLE_GROUP table.
• Only one of the TABLE_NAME, TABLE_GROUP_NAME, or TABLE_AREA can be used at a time. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if more than one parameter is specified.

TABLE_AREA

The name of the table area to be deleted.

Note: If this parameter is specified:

• An existing entry must be available in the SZ_REG_TABLE table. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if the entry with the specified table_area value is not available in the SZ_REG_TABLE table.
• Only one of the TABLE_NAME, TABLE_GROUP_NAME, or TABLE_AREA can be used at a time. An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if more than one parameter is specified.

SOURCE

The source system from which the planning data is to be deleted.

VERSION_COLUMN

The name of the column that maintains the business object version.

Note: If this parameter is specified:

• The specified column must be available in all related tables.
• An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if the specified column is not available in one or more tables.

VERSIONS_TO_KEEP

The number of business object versions to maintain after deleting.

Note: If this parameter is specified, the VERSION_COLUMN parameter must also be specified.

DATE_COLUMN

The name of the column that contains the reference date to delete older data.

Note: If this parameter is specified:

• The specified column must be available in all related tables.
• An error message is logged, and the execution is stopped if the specified column is not available in one or more tables.

DAYS_TO_KEEP

The number of days data to retain.

Note: If this parameter is specified, the DATE_COLUMN parameter must be specified.

INCLUDE_XREF_TABLES

Indicates whether xref tables must also be deleted.

Note: By default, this option is set to Off.

PURGE_SCOPE

Determine the tables that must be considered during deletion. This parameter is only considered when the specified table is a core table. Possible values:

• 0: All tables. The core and extension tables are included, if available.
• 1: Only the base table in scope. Selected by default.
• 2: Only the extension table is included.

Note: 

• If the specified value is greater than 2, an error message is logged, and the execution is stopped.
• If the PURGE_SCOPE value is set to 0 or 2, and the VERSION_COLUMN and DATE_COLUMN parameters are specified, the specified version and date columns must be available in the related extension table. Else, an error is logged, and the execution is stopped.
