Resolution

Exclusion list is new feature introduced in release b1711. When we delete users in LMS, " Purge Deleted User Audit History" automatic process if scheduled purge the audit history of deleted users to remove, in an unrecoverable way, all audit data about a user. You can exclude users from the Purge Deleted User Audit History automatic process. The process looks for users who have been deleted from the transactional tables and deletes them from the audit tables.

For most customers, user data is deleted from transactional tables by Data Retention Management (DRM) in SAP SuccessFactors platform, which handles exclusions. However if you have already deleted a native (Learning only) user and discover you need to retain their audit history (for example in the case of a legal or audit issue) you can add that user to the Exclusion List.

This feature allow you to prevent permanent deletion of audit trails on an as-needed basis.
