2768609 - DRTM Learning Data Purge - Historical Data Only - LMS

• DRTM Learning Data Purge (partial data purge)
• This KBA will help resolve issues with configuring or executing the Partial Data Purge (purging historical data based on retention criteria)

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

What is it?

• DRTM Learning Data Purge is integrated with the Learning Management System.
• An administrator can configure a retention policy and schedule the job to periodically delete learning data for selected user(s).
• Purge is permanent, and once data is purged, it cannot be recovered.
• A preview report is available which lists the users that will be purged.

Why is it important?

Data protection and privacy laws mandate to remove users’ personal records if there is no business reason to retain such records.
