Hi

I am looking to understand pre-requisites of Pega Purge process. I read Pega v7.2.2 Help documentation but looking to get more information around:

1. Steps to follow when planning purge in production environment. E.g. full database backup prior to running purge etc.

2. Can purge be run concurrently along with users using application? Or is this a process to be run during application maintenance window when no users are online?

3. In case purge encounters a failure, would the process exit or continue? What action is required for database consistency?

Appreciate your help in providing your recommendations on the above.

Thanks,

Naveen
