[Wactclc-alma] Question on Alma/CTC Link User Purge Dates

[Miller, Amanda]

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how purge dates work in Alma & CTC Link as I have a project the requires checking this information. I found an analytics report in Oracle that lists all the expired users. Wade apparently made this and its given me a starting point for double checking expiry/purge dates. But I can find no discernable pattern. The dates appear to be randomly applied in Alma anywhere between 1 to 6 years between status dates and expiry/purge dates. Feeling a perplexed and more than a little confused I have a few questions...

What is considered a "normal" time period between a status/creation date to expiry/purge dates?

Is there way to normalize a purge date time frame so that it is consistently applied to all accounts in Alma?

Is this a CTC coding thing? I ask because I've seen expiry/purge dates change in Alma and we think there is some weirdness happening with CTC that may be the cause but cannot be sure. If that is the case, how do we verify that and how can it be resolved?

Thank you for any info you can provide!
