Re: Deleting data from CMDB
You can use the BMC:BaseElement form if you are able to do a search with the specific qualification needed and do a delete from there. Both entries and all relationships are removed. -Original Message- From: Veeral Oza veer...@gmail.com To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Wed, Sep 2, 2009 9:30 am Subject: Deleting data from CMDB ** Hi All, There are 2 custom classes along with their Asset views being created.

Re: Deleting data from CMDB
Hi Roger, Deletion is not a problem. I need a phased approach to delete the records chunk by chunk. If i delete it from BaseElement form, say 5000 records at a time, from the User tool, will all the relationships be deleted? Is this the right approach to do it?

Re: Deleting data from CMDB
The negative is that it is a manual approach and requires you to track what you want done. We needed to delete all assets at I present customer and 175K records took almost the whole day to delete. We had both People relationships and component relationships that were also deleted by deleting the Base Element record. -Original Message- From: Veeral Oza veer...@gmail.com To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Wed, Sep 2, 2009 10:01 am Subject: Re: Deleting data from CMDB ** Hi Roger, ?

Re: Deleting data from CMDB
You can still use a recon job but add a qualification group to select an appropriate set of entries that can be deleted in a single job. You would then just have to go back and update the qualification group and run the job again, etc., until you've deleted the entire set.
