Deleting obsolete seasonal events

You can delete obsolete seasonal events directly from the View Seasonal Events portlet.

About this task

By default, if the same seasonality configuration is run a second time and a seasonal event from the previous run is not found, that seasonal event is deleted. However, if that seasonal event has at least one associated rule then it is not deleted, but it is marked as an Obsolete seasonal event. Seasonal events from the previous run that are also found in the current run, are current events, and are not marked as obsolete.

Procedure

  1. Open the View Seasonal Events portlet.
  2. Sort the table by the Obsolete Seasonal Event column so that any events that have this column set to true come to the beginning of the table.
    Events with this column set to true are obsolete seasonal events.
  3. Review the rule or rules associated with each obsolete seasonal event.
