The Log Purge tool deletes old logs. The logs and the locations from which they are deleted are:
Table 7.2. Logs deleted by log purge job
| Log type | Delete from |

Server log files | Documentum Server installation log location |

Files are considered old and are deleted if they were modified prior to a user-defined cutoff date. By default, the cutoff date is 30 days prior to the current date. For instance, if you run Log Purge on July 27, all log files that were modified before June 28 are deleted. You can change the cutoff interval by setting the -cutoff_days argument for the tool.
Log Purge generates a report that lists all directories searched and the files that were deleted. The report is saved in the repository in /System/Sysadmin/Reports/LogPurge.
The Log Purge tool is installed in the inactive state.
Site Caching Services logs are deleted by the SCS Log Purge job. Refer to SCS log purge (dm_SCSLogPurgeJob) for information on that job.
