Need to add ability to purge (clean) automatically the data from the Output table on a regular basis

Regression from the IA and not in IKC.  In IA we can purge (clean) automatically the data from the Output table on a regular basis.  But this is not available in IKC.

    Hi Vishwas, discussed with the customer and he understands at the same time, he mentioned it would be useful to bring that DB back internal under IKC control and allow this function. This would prevent having to involve a DB team to do this task.

    Hi Martin, In traditional product IA, all the output records were stored in internal database, not in new product in IKC, clients needs to bring their own database to store exception records. So it is up to clients to figure out the lifecycle of the output tables stored in the clients database.
