Synopsis

[Journal]    PurgeArchive=boolean

Where boolean is 1 or 0. The default is 0.

Description

PurgeArchive specifies whether to purge journal files as soon as they are copied to the archive target. Necessary files are never purged, no matter what this setting is.

If PurgeArchive is 1, the settings BackupsBeforePurge and DaysBeforePurge are both ignored.

Changing This Parameter

On the Journal Settings page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Journal Settings), in the Archive journal files section, select the As soon as they are copied to archive check box. (It is necessary to choose an archive target, in order to see this option.)

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change PurgeArchive in the Config.JournalOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference), from the ^JOURNAL utility (as described in Update Journal Settings Using ^JRNOPTS), or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
