TotalPERM

Syntax

procedure TotalPERM

    (itemtype in varchar2 default null,
     itemkey in varchar2 default null,
     enddate in date default sysdate, 
     docommit in boolean default TRUE);

Description

Deletes all eligible obsolete runtime data that is of persistence type 'PERM' (Permanent) and that is associated with the specified item type and has an END_DATE less than or equal to the specified end date. TotalPERM() is similar to Total() except that TotalPERM() deletes only items with a persistence type of 'PERM'. See: Total.

Arguments (input)

itemtype Item type associated with the obsolete runtime data you want to delete. Leave this argument null to delete obsolete runtime data for all item types.

itemkey A string generated from the application object's primary key. The string uniquely identifies the item within an item type. If null, the procedure purges all items in the specified itemtype.

enddate Specified date to delete up to.

docommit Specify TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether to commit data while purging. If you want TotalPERM() to commit data as it purges to reduce rollback segments and improve performance, specify TRUE. If you do not want to perform automatic commits, specify FALSE. Defaults to TRUE.
