• Configuration issue 
• Missing DRTM Employment Info Purge Objects

In order to have MDF custom object purge work, you need to configure DRTM Employment Info Purge Objects for any object such as:

• DRTM Employment Info Purge Objects: DRTM_COMPENSATION (DRTM_COMPENSATION)

DRTM Employment Info Purge Objects: DRTM_JOB_RELATIONSHIPS (DRTM_JOB_RELATIONSHIPS)

The retention times configured would purge these Emp Info objects.

In case you wish not to purge them, you may specify a large retention time such that no records are selected for purge.

For more information on DRTM Purge Objects, please refer to "DRTM Base Dates for Retention Time Calculation" chapter the Data Protection and Privacy
