Automatic Deletion of Temporary Baskets and Order Template Backups 

Use

You can schedule a task to automatically delete temporary backup records of shopping baskets (B2C) and of order templates (B2B) from the database when these temporary backup records are no longer required in SAP E-Commerce. These temporary backup records are created so that data can be retrieved if a Web user leaves a session without explicitly saving the shopping basket or order template, but returns later. This saves Web users having to remember the products they browsed and added to their shopping basket or order template.

The interval between the time the temporary backup records were last updated and the current time determines whether the temporary backup records are still required. You specify this interval on the scheduler administration UI (see below). Regular deletion of these temporary backup records from the database cleans up the database and saves database space.
