The Purge Historical Data action lets you purge SharePoint activity and storage datawhich is captured by the ControlPoint Discovery process and is used in analyzing historical datafrom the ControlPoint Services (xcAdmin) database.
Data is purged from one farm per operation, and you can specify how many months' worth of data you want to retain.
Once data is deleted from the xcAdmin database it cannot be recovered and will no longer be available for inclusion in future ControlPoint activity and storage analyses. Therefore, it is recommended that you back up the database before performing this operation.
To purge activity and storage data:
1From the Manage ControlPoint panel, choose ControlPoint Management > Purge Historical Data.
2Select the Farm from which you want to purge historical data.
3Enter the Number of Number of months to keep historical activity and storage data for.
CAUTION: If you enter 0, all historical activity and storage data will be deleted from the database.
Now you can:
·run the operation immediately (by clicking the [Run Now] button)
OR
·complete the Enforce Policy section and schedule the operation to run at a later time.
OR
·save the operation as XML Instructions that can be run at a later time.
If you chose the Run Now, option, after the operation has been processed:
·a confirmation message displays at the top of the page, and
·a ControlPoint Task Audit is generated for the operation and displays in the Results section.
If you schedule the operation, a link to the Task Audit is included in the scheduled action notification email.
