Cause

Legal Minimum Obligation period is not met for the country configuried is not satisfying legal obligation period.

Resolution

  • This error is possible when the system is attempting to purge a candidate profile as a part of the user purge process, but unable to do so due to not satisfying the validity period for the profile, which is configured in Legal minimum obligation period settings. 
  • If number days between 'date of running purge' - 'last login of candidate' is more than the number of days configured on this page, only then will the candidate profile get picked up for purge. 
  • Currently, there is no way to override Legal Minimum Obligation period . The system picks up the candidates for purge once the Retention period is over as per the expected behavior. Resolving the issue.
