Introduction

The purpose of this task is to export audit data from the database.  Once the data has been exported you may optionally purge the deleted data.

Unlike the similar task "Purge old audit trail records", this task performs an export of all records that will be purged prior to purging the old audit trail records (and consequently it runs much slower).

The task can be found by navigating to "Administration | Tasks", then scrolling down to the task "Delete all tokens in OU by product";

Task Parameters

The task parameters are used by the task script to determine which tokens are to be deleted and are edited by left clicking on the context menu of the task and selecting "Parameters";

A new window titled "Task Parameters" will now open that lists the parameters making them available for editing, and the default parameters for this task are as follows;









Specify the number of days of audit records to retained after the audit log file has been purged.






This option specifies if the audit is to be purged after the export is performed.





Specify which server the task is to be executed on.


 



The parameters may then be editing by selecting one of the parameters, then clicking on the button.
