Purging the OnBase transaction log is a destructive event and will no longer allow for the viewing of document histories within the purged date range.
The OnBase transaction log keeps a record of all events associated with the OnBase database. This includes retrievals, the addition, or update of keywords, DIP, COLD, and other processes, etc. The transaction log also allows users to view a document's history. However, the transaction log can become extremely large; sometimes as much as twenty-five percent of the total database.
The OnBase Administrator and affected business process owners should first determine the necessity of viewing document histories. If it is deemed that document histories past a certain amount of time (for example, 90 days) are no longer needed, the OnBase transaction log should be purged from that date back.
