Deleting data from a target is best performed in the order oldest-to-newest.
To do this:
-
Expand a target’s measurement periods in Data Management.
-
Sort the list so that the oldest data is displayed first.
-
Select a measurement period or a number of measurement periods
-
Right-click on the selection and choose Delete.
-
In the bottom pane of Data Management, right-click on the activity and select Apply.
This will cause the data to be deleted. Repeat this until the required amount of data has been removed.
You can also perform data deletion by using Data Management templates and schedules. These can be set up to run automatically at a predetermined time or frequency (e.g., daily), and the task will then run under the control of the Syncsort™ Capacity Management Scheduler service. Alternatively, you can run a schedule manually at any time.
