Cause

The performance issue is caused by an excessive number of purge rules configured in the system.

Resolution

  • To prevent loading issues on the Data Retention Management page, review the configured purge rules and delete any rules that are no longer required.
  • Removing excessive rules can help avoid performance issues.

Steps to follow:

  1. Navigate to the Data Retention Management page.

  2. Click More Actions > Delete from the UI. (This action will help improve page loading performance)

If you are already experiencing loading issues, please open an incident under LOD-SF-PLT-DRM and provide written approval to proceed with deleting the rules.

Note: The rules that will be deleted through this process are unscheduled rules under the “Save” rule section.
