Booking Day Snapshot purge
This feature is available with version R55 and higher, and it is not enabled by default. This feature requires an approval process to ensure that only authorized administrators can access it. Our team grants the designated corporate administrator the ability to enable and configure the purge settings by property and to set up the purge based on the booking departure date. Corporate administrators, see Enable property object retention for enablement instructions.
The Booking Day Snapshot (BDS) purge feature is designed to help reduce data storage costs by deleting BDS records that are no longer needed for property reporting purposes based on the configured settings.
Removing the Booking Day Snapshot records from the Salesforce org does not affect the Amadeus reporting database, ensuring that Delphi performance reports are not impacted. This feature helps manage storage costs while ensuring that necessary data is retained for reporting needs.
