Discuss Epic Systems EDI101 Exam Topic 2 Question 8

If interface specification ABC has 45 days listed as its purge days, and Data Exchange System Definitions has 60 days listed for purge days, how many days will messages on interface ABC last?

A30 Days

B45 Days

C60 Days

DIt depends on whether the message has active errors

Suggested Answer: B

Similar to profile variables, purge settings follow a hierarchy where the more specific configuration overrides the more general one. Because the Interface Specification is more specific than the System Definitions, its value of 45 days takes precedence. Messages for interfaces using that specification will be eligible for purging after 45 days.

I thought the answer was always the higher number, but this question seems tricky. I need to double-check the rules on purge days.

I feel like it might depend on the context of the messages. If there are active errors, maybe they last longer?

I remember a practice question where we had to choose between two different purge days, and it was based on the lower value. Could that apply here?

I think the purge days for interface ABC are 45, but I'm not sure how that interacts with the 60 days from the other system.
