Deleting Stale Data

Before deleting stale data, verify the contents of CSS_MIGRATION_DELETE_LIST.csv. See Identifying Stale Data.

Note:

Update Native Directory Utility does not delete stale Native Directory identities that are referenced from an external user directory to which it cannot establish a connection.

Caution!

The delete operation removes provisioning data that references users and groups from external user directories that are not included in Shared Services search order.

  To delete stale Native Directory data:

  1. Modify Update Native Directory Utility settings. See Updating the Update Native Directory Utility Settings.

  2. Using a command prompt window or console on the server that hosts an EPM System product, navigate to EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/utilities/UpdateNativeDir; for example, to C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\utilities\UpdateNativeDir on a Windows server.

  3. Execute a command. For a list of options you can specify, see Update Native Directory Utility Options.

    Note:

    You can combine the -noprompt and -cssLocation directives with these commands.

    • updateNativeDir -delete PATH_OF_DELETE_LIST

    • updateNativeDir -delete all

    In this command, PATH_OF_DELETE_LIST refers to the absolute location of CSS_MIGRATION_DELETE_LIST.csv; for example, C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\utilities\UpdateNativeDir\logs\security-migration\CSS_MIGRATION_DELETE_LIST.csv on a Windows server.

  4. Enter 1 at the following Update Native Directory Utility query:
