Symptom
All Workflows are displaying in the Workflow Purge Preview Report even if not within the retention time. The Process time column displays “To Be Purged”
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Run Purge request
- Download Preview report
- See all workflows showing as "To Be Purged"
Resolution
- This is expected.
- You can see from the "Purge Summary" column below "all/completed workflows = 0", meaning there are no matched workflows found, even if it said "to be purged" in process status.
- "to be purged" will always exist in a preview report, even if there are no workflows found.
- Whether we will purge workflows or not depends on the number of all/completed workflows.
- If "all/completed workflows = 1" for example, it means we will purge these workflows. Otherwise no workflow will be purged.
