Deleting a report

About this task

You can use the UNLOAD function of the ARSADMIN program to delete the index data and documents that the ARSLOAD program stored in the system during a load process. To use the UNLOAD function, you must specify the Load ID that the ARSLOAD program generated during the load process. The Load ID represents the index data that was added to the database and the storage objects that were copied to cache storage and archive storage. The Load ID can be found in the message log that the ARSLOAD program saved in the system log.

When you use the UNLOAD function, you specify the name of the application group and the Load ID. You can obtain the Load ID from the message log that the ARSLOAD program generated during the load process. (Search for message number 87 in the system log.) If there is more than one Load ID listed in the message log, then you should use the last Load ID listed in the log. Storage locations include cache storage, the primary storage node, and the secondary storage node. By default, the UNLOAD function deletes the storage objects from all locations. The UNLOAD function also deletes the rows of index data that were added to the database during the original load process.

The following shows how to run the ARSADMIN program on a UNIX server from the command line to delete a load from all of the storage locations: 
OnDemand install directory/bin/arsadmin unload -h instance 
-g Application Group name -L loadID -u user -p password

To UNLOAD a report on a Windows server:

Procedure

  1. Start > IBM OnDemand Server V10.5 > OnDemand Command Window V10.5.
  2. Run the ARSADMIN program from the prompt.
    For example: 
    arsadmin unload -h instance -g Application Group name 
-L loadID -u user -p password

Results

When the ARSADMIN program completes, you should open the System Log folder to view the messages that were generated during the UNLOAD process. (Search for message number 85 in the system log.) See IBM® Content Manager OnDemand: Messages and Codes for more information about messages.

The Content Manager OnDemand server program (ARSSOCKD or ARSOBJD in UNIX; LibSrvr or ObjSrvr in Windows) must be running, otherwise the ARSADMIN program will fail.

See ARSADMIN for more information about the ARSADMIN program and the parameters that you can specify to UNLOAD data.
