Purge Data from the Database

The management console automatically maintains response time data along with your specified application, server, and network definitions, so it is typically not necessary to purge data. If necessary, you can purge all data and definitions, or purge a particular type of data, for example, 5-minute data, for a particular time period.

You cannot recover data after you purge. We recommend that you only purge data when requested to do so by CA Support.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Console, Database, Purge Data in the Show Me menu.

   The Purge Data dialog box opens.

3. Select an option to purge all data from the database or specify the time frame from which you want to purge a particular type of data, and click OK.

   If the management console is registered as a data source with the CA PC or CA NPC , unregister the management console before you purge all data from the management console database. After the purge completes, re-register the management console as a data source with the CA PC or CA NPC. For information about unregistering the management console, see the CA PC or CA NPC online help.

4. Click Continue with Delete at the prompt to purge the specified data.
