That’s interesting – Peninsula’s letter purge job is enabled, too, and like George, I’m pretty sure we didn’t take action for that to happen. I suspect that was the default during implementation.

Amy,

I just took a look at Edmonds scheduled jobs. Their letter purge job is enabled. Yours is not (as you know).

Since customers cannot enable or disable scheduled jobs from our side, I’m guessing that Edmonds did in fact have that letter purge job enabled by Ex Libris, either at implementation, or later on.

So, you were right the first time. Go ahead and open a SF case to have ExL enable that job for you (afterwards, the job will run each Friday night).

Screenshot from Edmonds.

I did all of the editing to the retention periods and activated the letters we want to purge in the table, I just cannot activate the actual purge job itself, it’s essentially grayed out for me as I showed in my screenshot.  Are you saying the job runs anyway, even if it is not listed as Active in the Monitor Jobs list?

Thanks, George. I stand corrected.

Hi Amy,

I think that the User=No just means that you cannot control how often the job runs.  The job runs weekly and you cannot make it run nightly.

Dale set retention periods and then enabled the letters to be purged here at Edmonds and it seems to be working.  As long as you have enabled the Letter Retention table, then I think you should be deleting the attachments in patron records.

I’ve been working on purging some letters/attachments after a certain number of days.  I’ve enabled and edited the retention periods for those letters, and am finally ready to allow some letters/attachments to actually be purged.  However when I go to Monitor Jobs, the “Letters purge with retention” job is not active and there is no way to activate it:

And according to the Alma documentation, this is NOT something that I am allowed to change:

So do I need to open a Salesforce Case to activate that job?  Or am I missing something somewhere?
