Delete Data Extraction Profiles or Data Snapshots

Regularly scheduled data extractions can generate a large volume of data. Purge older data sets to reduce the size of the CA RCM external reporting database. You can also schedule automatic deletion at a future date and time.

Similarly, you may delete a data export profile if the data set it defines is no longer useful.

Note: You must have administrator-level rights in the CA RCM portal to perform this procedure.
