Or you can add a field to the form that says delete, then the escalation will run and set the field to deleting. Then a filter that fires on modify to delete the record. That way escalations are not tied up deleting and the actual delete happens in filter which is fast.

In circumstances like this, I've always put the escalation on the Group form, with a qualification of Group ID = 0 ("Public"). Since the form name in the Run Process is decoupled from the form the escalation is attached to, this works. It has another benefit in that the Group form has few records, and is usually pinned in memory in the database, so the query is low cost. FWIW,

Absolutely it would be more efficient and I agree that is preferred—the trick is to figure out a way to simply call it once versus for every record in the table. As mentioned previously, you could enable your escalation against a one record table used specifically to issue single commands like this against other tables but there should be a way to handle this within the same table.

It is interesting that it appears to work on all of your other servers though without any problem so perhaps there is something set up to handle this situation?

** As I understand it, using the call I'm using, (Application-Query-Delete-Entry)/ /is more efficient for multiple deletes than Application-Delete-Entry. I haven't tested that, but it seems to make sense. It is like deleting a list of entries on your screen at once instead of one at a time. At very least, it should cut out the GLE call to refresh the entry list after each delete.

True—but as Fred mentioned, you are calling the full delete for every record. If you put the qualification in the Run If and delete them using request id and Application-Delete-Entry, it may solve your problem.

** No, that's on Application-Delete-Entry. The syntax for /Application-Query-Delete-Entry* */is /Application-Query-Delete-Entry "<form>" <qualification_string>.

I believe you have to use the Request ID field with this command. Since you are not providing that, you get the entry error.

*Subject:* Application-Delete-Query-Entry gives errors

** We are running an escalation nightly that runs this command: */Application-Query-Delete-Entry "SHR:TmpMessages" (( 'Status' = "Sent") AND ( 'Send Time' != $NULL$ ))/*. The effect is to clear a form that contains records accumulated during the day, but which are no longer needed.



Running this creates thousands of entries in the arerror.log file (roughly, but not exactly, equivalent to the number of records in the form) that say this: */Thu May 29 10:31:45 2008 390603 : Entry does not exist in database (ARERR 302)/*.

There are no errors that show up in the api or sql logs, and the records DO get deleted. Any idea why these errors appear? I'm kinda stumped as to where else to look for a cause.
