system.mes.oee.scheduleOeeRecordPruning

Description

Schedules OEE records for pruning by setting their toBePruned flag to true. Records matching the given location and date criteria will be permanently deleted during the next nightly maintenance window.

This method does not delete records immediately. Call system.mes.oee.unscheduleOeeRecordPruning() to cancel before the maintenance window runs.

All four OEE record types are scheduled together: production records, state records, mode records, and alarm records.

Permissions

This method requires the OEE (Admin) permission.

Syntax

# Run method with prune date as Date object
system.mes.oee.scheduleOeeRecordPruning(locationIdsOrPaths, pruneBeforeDate)

# Run method with prune date in milliseconds as Long object
system.mes.oee.scheduleOeeRecordPruning(locationIdsOrPaths, pruneBeforeDateMillis)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
locationIdsOrPaths	Set<String>	True	A set of location IDs or paths whose records should be scheduled for pruning. Pass null or empty to target all locations.
pruneBeforeDate	Date	False	Records with an end date before this date will be scheduled for pruning.
pruneBeforeDateMillis	Long	False	Records with an end date before the date defined by Instant.ofEpochMilli will be scheduled for pruning.

Returns

The total number of OEE records (across all record types) scheduled for pruning as an integer.

Code Examples

from java.util import Date
from java.util.concurrent import TimeUnit

# Define the cutoff date (e.g., 90 days ago)
cutoffMillis = Date().getTime() - TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(90)
cutoffDate = Date(cutoffMillis)

# Schedule records for specific locations
locationsToPrune = {"Enterprise/Site/Area/Line1", "Enterprise/Site/Area/Line2"}

count = system.mes.oee.scheduleOeeRecordPruning(locationsToPrune, cutoffDate)
print "Scheduled", count, "record(s) for pruning. They will be deleted during the next nightly maintenance window."
print "Call system.mes.oee.unscheduleOeeRecordPruning() to cancel."

# Schedule records for all locations
# count = system.mes.oee.scheduleOeeRecordPruning(set(), cutoffDate)
