Purging Scheduled Reports from the Oracle BI Publisher Server

Scheduled reports that users have generated are stored in the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (Oracle BI Publisher) scheduling database. Administrators can periodically purge scheduled reports from the Oracle BI Publisher Server by removing Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler job instances from the database.

TIP:   You cannot purge scheduled reports from the Siebel application or by using the Oracle BI Publisher administration application.

This topic describes how to purge reports using either the Job Manager Instances List or the Job Manager Purge Instances Window.

To purge scheduled reports from the Oracle BI Publisher Server

• Follow the instructions provided in the Purging Oracle BI Scheduler Job Instances topic in the Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler Guide on Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html).

CAUTION:  It is recommended that only administrators purge scheduled reports, because you run the risk of inadvertently depleting or contaminating the report repository. Report developers and other users can delete reports, but they cannot purge reports. For information about deleting reports, see Deleting Scheduled Reports.

NOTE:  Administrators are also responsible for purging reports from the Siebel File System. For information about this purging, see Automatically Purging Reports from the Siebel File System.
