Purge Sequence

Hi All,

We are trying to purge OTM objects(Order bases & Releases , shipments etc) 5 year old data and archive for future as per business requirements.

Can anybody throw light on what should be the sequence of purge between the mentioned objects to be followed if we follow OTM Standard Purge process through user interface(Mark for Purge , schedule for purge).

And also what is meant by Application server purging and why it is recommended to use application server purging for old (greater than 1year).


Appreciate your help here.

Thanks
