Purging device revisions and audit history

Two tools are available for managing data:

• The database-utility.pl script. This script allows you to archive, restore, and purge particular types of data that may grow to a very large size under normal operating conditions. Archiving and/or purging improves application performance by lowering the amount of data that needs to be processed. For detailed usage information for this utility, including argument descriptions and examples, see “Database Archive Utility” on page 258.

• The purge_audit_history.pl script. It accepts the number of days as an input and retains the audit data for a given number of days. It also deletes the rest of the data from cm_device_audit_history.

  Note:

  Deleting audit history may lead to data inconsistency in RA reports.
