Using Utilities and Activities

Utility and activity forms process multiple records in one operation. They typically perform tasks such as purging records, updating values, posting transactions, or changing the status of records. The Delete Audit Logs form, for example, deletes all audit logs created between specified dates for specified message types.

To use a utility or activity, you specify criteria to select information to be processed and you select options to define the processing task. The form then processes information that meets the criteria. In certain forms, you can preview results of the process before you save them in the database.
