Resolution

"Shadow Audit Data Purge" job is designed to automatically manage and optimize audit data storage in the system.

This is how it works:
    •    Each day, the system temporarily stores audit data in the local database.
    •    A separate system job is then responsible for transferring this data to a dedicated audit database.
    •    Once the data has been successfully transferred, the "Shadow Audit Data Purge" job runs to remove the remaining data from the local database.

This process helps minimize unnecessary storage costs while ensuring that all audit data is securely retained in the dedicated audit database.
