Scheduling the Deletion of Database Assets
Beginning with Interplay Engine v2.4, you can schedule custom time spans and set other options
for deletion of database assets in the Interplay Administrator. This feature lets you schedule a
significant part of the load generated on the Interplay Engine by deletion operations to take place
during times of low activity.
n
Even if you do not schedule a custom deletion, deletion in v2.4 and later is asynchronous,
because deletion of the database assets takes place after the interactive part of the deletion. For
more information, see “Understanding the Deletion Process” on page 180.
To schedule the deletion of database assets:
1. In the Site Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Delete Behavior
icon.
The Scheduled Deletion Options section is at the bottom of the view.
2. In the Scheduled Deletion Options section, select “Enable custom schedule.”
If you select “Enable custom schedule,” select options, and later deselect “Enable custom
schedule,” the options you selected are disabled, but remain set in case you want to enable
them again. However, the selected options are not in effect. Instead, the default deletion
schedule is in effect. See
“Default Deletion Schedule and Custom Deletion Schedules” on
page 183
