PURGE 



Akornn PURGE™

Akornn PURGE allows system administrators to maintain control over the size and contents of databases residing on Domino servers.
Many companies have an email policy that requires that all email documents over ninety days old be deleted from the system. This saves space on network servers and also fulfills certain legal requirements that some companies must adhere to.

With a simple command, your administrators can set up and perform automated purges of database documents on all Domino databases using parameters you specify. Furthermore, your administrator can set Akornn PURGE to act on different folders with different schedules. For instance, you could specify that all email Inbox documents should be removed every ninety days, while calendar appointments and "to do" lists should be purged after 365 days.
Regardless of the specific document maintenance policies your company chooses to implement, your system administrators can enforce them, quickly, easily and accurately.Akornn AGENTmaster

Examples:

Loading Purge to run on the server. 



load runjava purge
  • Remove all documents from users' mail databases that are more then 45 days old and still in the Inbox folder.



tell purge mail ($InBox) 45 -v 
Let's face it, if users do not look at a message or read a message and did not file in a folder, then they just do not need it after 45 days. So help them by cleaning up their Inbox for them.
