4.2.2 Using purge procedures
OBAPI provides some out of the box purge procedure that can be used to purge the data. Otherwise the DBA / IT staff can prepare similar procedures to purge required data.
However note that it is not recommended to purge or delete any data stored in OBAPI tables without doing detailed impact analysis. Please also note that the purge jobs are useful typically for purging old data. They may not be useful for purging data of a specific customer.
