Manual Purges

Note: By default, CA DLP does not support manual purges. To amend your CA DLP license to support manual purges, please contact Technical Support.

If permitted by your CA DLP license, you can manually purge all eligible events from the CMS database. The command below removes all event data (both database records and blob files) from the local server. When the purge completes, an entry is written to the CA DLP activity log, indicating how many events were deleted. The command syntax is:

wgninfra -exec wigan/schema/Schema RemoveAppData <password> [parameters]

Where:

<password>

Is the password for the database account used by CA DLP to access the CMS database.

[parameters]

Are optional date parameters:

Before=<Date>

Purges all events captured or imported into the CMS before 12.00 a.m. on a specified date. The <date> format is yyyy-mm-dd.

After=<Date>

Purges all events captured or imported into the CMS after 12.00 a.m. on a specified date. The <date> format is yyyy-mm-dd.

Note: In the above command, the command elements wigan/schema/Schema and RemoveAppData are case-sensitive.
