Removing Archives with Script

Hello,
we have EV8.0SP1. I need to remove old archives and I want to know: Is it possible to remove them by a bulk operation via script? There is a stored procedure DeleteArchive, which removes all database entrys based on the vautl-id as parameter. Does it remove the physical data what is no more needed too?
Regards
Ralf
  • Hi,

    Under EnterpriseVaultDirectory database > Archives table.... There is a column called "Archive Status", change the value to 4 (which is mark for deletion)...only change for those archives u wanted to delete.... If possible, create some archives to test it out first before you procceed and make sure you backup your EV servers first.

    cheers!
