Data Mover has an internal repository that stores job execution data from previously executed jobs. The purge service is enabled by default and jobs will be purged every 60 days. You can adjust this setting as needed based on your business requirement. You can designate cleanup based on how old the data is, what percentage of the repository is full, or by both age and percent full. A daily cleanup check is performed at the time you specify; and if the age or space threshold is reached, the excess data is deleted from the repository. By default, Data Mover does not purge data that is newer than 5 days.
