Deleting a history collection configuration

Edit online

This example describes how to delete a history collection configuration.

To delete a history collection configuration, use the DELETE /data/historycollections endpoint.

The format of the path is as follows: 
https://host:port/api/v1/data/historycollections?name=uadvisor_name&lstdate=YYYMMDDHHMMSS000
Where:
  • uadvisor_name is the unique name of the history collection configuration in the format UADVISOR_xxxxx. Commonly, Kpp and tablename appear in the name.
  • YYYMMDDHHMMSS000 is the timestamp when the history collection configuration was last modified.
    Note: This timestamp value is used as a locking mechanism to prevent multiple requests aimed at the same history collection configuration. For information about the format of the timestamp, see Using time values for requests.
    Tip: You can obtain this value by using the GET /data/historycollections endpoint; the lstdate parameter is returned as part of the response.
