14 Object Erasure Support

Oracle Utilities Cloud Service supports master object erasure, which addresses data privacy concerns and allows the removal of Personally Identifiable Information from Oracle Utilities Cloud Service whilst adhering to business rules. Note that object erasure is restricted to master data only, and transaction data erasure is through Information Lifecycle Management.

Object Erasure Configuration

The Object Erasure function provides the ability to define the following:

• An F1-OBJERSCH (Object Erasure) maintenance object that can map the reassure of the object and used as a basis for the business object to describe the storage of the Object Erasure information for individual objects.
• A maintenance object algorithm to the Maintain Object Erasure Schedule that defines the rules and retention for the object, including any obfuscation rules.
• A generic F1-OESMN batch control to implement the erasure or obfuscation rules in batch.

Refer to The Approach to Implementing Object Erasure section of the online documentation for more information about the process for configuring Object Erasure.
