Detailed Information

The purge_idempotency command triggers the purge of temporary technical data kept by the SAP CC Core Server system. The purge contributes to provide idempotent services for applications or systems that are connected to the SAP CC system via the Web Services (WS) technical interface. This data is stored in the back-end database in dedicated tables. During the purge, all the idempotency table entries older than the specified date are deleted. Use the ISO 8601 format (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss) to enter this date.

The purge operation may take time.

Caution

Make sure that the specified reference date does not impact on idempotent services. The purge schedule is determined during the project implementation phase.

Note

The purge_idempotency command returns to the command prompt only when all the idempotency table entries older than the specified reference date have been deleted by the connected SAP CC system.
