2470098 - How to Clear Notifications in Bell Icon

• User has reminder notices that have already been completed. How do we get rid of the reminder notices?
• Only 50 notifications are showing in the bell icon.
• The notification configuration settings were switched off but to-dos gets "stalled" so they can´t be cleared.

1. Log in and you will see the bell icon in the header.
2. Click on it to view the notifications.
3. See that there are old notifications appearing.

• The number of bell icon notifications can't be empty is due to our current design.
• The notification panel can only listed at most 50 latest notifications and only the new notifications within the 50 latest notification can be set as viewed by customer.
• The number of new notifications will be appear in the notification bell icon.
• This design could cause the bell icon number always show numbers due to some notifications which were pending and have now been replaced in the notification pop up panel a more recent notification.
• As the maximum number of notifications that appear in the notification pop up panel is 50 it is impossible to see or complete the pending notification.
• After notifications are switched off, system will prevent send new notification but existing ones will remain in the system until expired. 

• We have a weekly recurring notification purge job which will remove 30 days old notifications automatically.
• By default the job removes 1,000,000 notifications per week.
• If the number of notifications of your instance is greater than 1,000,000 it is expected that you continue seeing some old notifications in the bell icon.
• You can change this number number of purged notifications to up to 50,000,000 notifications being clean per week, please contact your Partner or Customer Support to request this change.
• If the number is much bigger than 10,000,000, please contact your Partner or Customer Support requesting the execution of this job more frequently to clear the queue faster.
• It is an expected behavior that do not purge existing notification after switch off related configuration so existing ones will keep in the system until expired. A possible workaround is to run "Notification Purge" Job which purge the notification by time range as mentioned above. 

Note for Partner or SAP Support:

• The job can be setup as a scheduled job from Provisioning
• Job Type is "Notification Purge"
• Generally setup to run once a week with a setting of 1,000,000 notifications to be purged - but this can be increased up to 50,000,000 notifications to be purged on each run.
