Delete Repository or Record

Using this mode, you can clear all data related to a specified record or repository. All references to the record from database, cache, and text index are removed.

This mode is designed for dev and test environment to remove old test data. This execution mode can only be specified using the command-line script provided. Record deletion includes the following items:

  • Principal Key, golden copy, and product key
  • Data stored in Repository Table (MCT), Multi Value Table (MVT), BCT (Synchronization profile), and Relationship Catalog Table (RCT) tables
  • Relationships
  • Clearing cache so that record cannot be found
  • Removing record from text index, if indexed

The following are some of the limitations of this purge:

If the MVT attribute existed previously but has since been deleted, the MVT data is not deleted. This limitation does not result in any error except that the table and data are orphaned and are not deleted.
