Physical Delete Processor

The Physical Delete Processor physically deletes database records that are deemed transitory from the PASI database. This process is scheduled to run once a day in the evening (9PM) in Production. The frequency with which the process runs is configurable per environment hence, test environments may have a difference frequency of running (e.g. every hour) than Production. Parent records and associated child records that have been logically deleted for more than 30 days get picked up by this process. The number of days to wait after the record has been logically deleted is configurable per environment. Hence, test environments may have a different number of days to wait (e.g. 1 day).

This process does not manage the physical deletion of Student Documents. See the Transitory Records Processor for details on the disposal of document records.
