Purge Repository Data

You can remove historical data using any of the following:

LiteSpeed_DeleteActivity

This stored procedure removes LiteSpeed activity and information about LiteSpeed backups based on the date and time specified. Additionally, if appropriate parameters are specified, it removes log shipping history, jobs and maintenance plans history, DST status, and information about deleted databases.

NOTE: You must run the LiteSpeed_DeleteActivity procedure against the database that has the LiteSpeed procedures installed and can be the one of the following:

  • LiteSpeedLocal.
  • LiteSpeedCentral.
  • Custom database—You can use the LiteSpeed Instance Configuration wizard (Start | All Programs | Quest Software | LiteSpeed for SQL Server | Instance Configuration) to choose where to store the repository data.

Syntax

USE {LiteSpeedLocal|LiteSpeedCentral|<custom_database_name>}
EXEС LiteSpeed_DeleteActivity

, {@delLocal = 0 | 1 | @delCentral = 0 | 1 |( @delLocal = 0 | 1 , @delCentral = 0 | 1)}
[, @purgeDeleted = 0 | 1 ]
[, @delLogshipping = 0 | 1 ]

exec LiteSpeedLocal.dbo.LiteSpeed_SyncActivity_Stats @startDate = '20210517 04:05'
{ @startDate = 'date time' }

or

exec LiteSpeedLocal.dbo.LiteSpeed_SyncActivity_Stats @startDate = '20210517 04:05', @endDate = '20210516 04:04'
{ @startDate = 'date time' | ( @endDate = 'date time' )}
