Deleting Records

Occasionally you may want to delete records from the repository. For instance, you could have residual records from testing the system or records that were mistakenly considered exceptions after processing, or you may want to process and delete approved records first and then re-run the same job again. The Purge section, under Maintenance, on the All Records page enables you to do this.

Note: You can also use the bsm delete exceptions command in the Command Line Interface (CLI) to delete records. For details about the CLI commands, see the Administration Utility section of the Spectrum Technology Platform Administration Guide.
