Pruning an isolated region

At some point, such as at the end of a development period, you might decide to initialize or remove an isolated region of the workflow database. The pruning process removes all workflows, work items, queues, and so on, that pertain to that isolated region.

About this task

If Case Analyzer is collecting data from that isolated region, you must remove all the data that is associated with the isolated region from the Case Analyzer store.

Important: Depending on the amount of data that is involved, pruning the isolated region can use a large amount of space in the database transaction log. Make sure that the transaction log is large enough or is set to grow automatically as needed, and that there is sufficient disk space on the data file drive. In addition, make sure that the disk drive that contains the transaction log has sufficient space.

Cube processing, pruning events, and pruning an isolated region require exclusive use of the Case Analyzer store, and can degrade Case Analyzer performance. Schedule these actions to run during off-hours.

To prune isolated region data from a Case Analyzer store:

Procedure

Select the Case Analyzer folder.
From the Action menu, select Prune Isolated Region.
Enter the number of the isolated region whose data you want to prune.
Click Next.
Verify the isolated region.
Important: Pruning isolated region data deletes all data in the Case Analyzer store that is related to the isolated region.
Click Prune to start the job. Process Task Manager processes the job in the background, and displays a message in the Message pane when the job is complete.

What to do next

Attention: You must run the Process Cubes action after pruning an isolated region.
