# Clean up generic staging journal table

In Connectivity Studio, you can use the staging concept to validate data in an intermediate area before it is further processed.

One predefined generic staging journal table is available for Connectivity Studio: '**BisStagingBufferOrderJournal**'. This topic explains how to clean up the '**BisStagingBufferOrderJournal**' table. You can clean up the staging journals manually or in recurring mode. For example, you want to keep staging journals for six months. Each week, you can do a cleanup, deleting staging journals older than six months.

### Steps

1. Go to **Connectivity studio** > **Periodic** > **Cleanup** > **Clean up Connectivity studio staging buffer tables**.
2. Select the period for which you want to keep the staging journals. All staging journals that are older than the defined period, are deleted.

In the **Number of days** field, select an option.
3. Usually, you clean up the staging journals in batch in recurring mode.

Expand the **Run in the background** section.
4. Select **Yes** in the **Batch processing** field and fill in the fields as desired.
5. Click **Recurrence** and fill in the fields as desired.
6. Click **OK**.
7. Click **OK**.
