Is this feature recommended to be used in Production also?

If you don't need old instances, why not?

Hi Arda,
This is a nice feature to purge the instances in SOA12c.
I have some questions on the same:
1. Will the above setting delete all the instances which are in the state(ABORTED, RUNNING, COMPLETED etc)?
2. Is this setting is independent for only one composite or applicable to all the composites?
Please let me know if we can set this only for purging the individual states of the instances?
Thanks,

Sri

Hi, Thanks for sharing this information, i have several instances which are in running state and want to purge them all. They all triggered using business events and wondering why they are still in running state.

Could you please let me know if there is any way to stop these running instances and purge them.
