Hi Yoann

Be careful when you use Purge in Windchill

You Should be a Windchill Admin and should be aware of the Purge Function

To purge go to

Organization>Utilities>Purge Manager

Open Collection Criteria Manager

Create a New Collection

Specify Name and Description and Click Next

Include and exclude Products

When You include a product you can go to the folders of the product(Include and exclude Sub-Folders)

After selection of product and folder click Next

Select Criteria

Choose Object Type

Click Finish

Click Close

In Purge Manager Click New Job

Specify Name and Description and Click Next

Find/Select Query you have just created

Choose the query and click Ok

Click Next Next Next with suitable options

Then check the Status of Purge

Regards

Hi

After you select a product and click next

A new window will popup (NEW QUERY)

In this screen there is Criteria selection option

In this dropdown select

1.Iteration and press add

2.Version and press add

3.Object type and press add

Then these options will be added in the screen

lteration gives you option to choose how many lteration you want to keep

Object type gives you option to choose which type of document you want to purge.

Click find and choose Document or EPM Document Or Part you want to purge

Version- choose All but Latest

Then Click Finish

I hope you can do now

Regards

If purge is not helping, as a workaround you can prevent users from accessing required Product(s).
