When you run the Data Purge utility, you must specify the settings that allow the utility to connect to the Identity Governance server. To speed the process, you create a parameters file that contains these settings, then specify that file to initiate the utility.
For more information about using the file to run the Data Purge utility, see Purging Data from the Operations Database.
NOTE: The Data Purge utility always requests the password for the specified Identity Governance Data Administrator User Name and will accept the password for the Identity Governance OAuth (OSP) Client ID. However, for security reasons, you should not include these values in the parameters file.
In a text editor, create a new parameters file in the following directory.
Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/idgov/bin/
Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\idgov\bin
Specify values for the following parameters:
Locale for message prompts
Purges all purgeable items from all purgeable types, exits when complete
Specifies the host name or IP address of the Identity Governance server
Specifies the port of the Identity Governance server
Specifies whether Identity Governance uses http or https protocol
Specifies a user account in Identity Governance with a Data Administrator authorization
Specifies the password for the Identity Governance user account
Specifies the host name or IP address for the authentication server (OSP)
Specifies the port of the authentication server (OSP)
Specifies whether authentication uses http or https protocol on the authentication server (OSP)
Specifies the name used to identify Identity Governance to the authentication server (OSP)
For more information about the server settings, see the following sections:
Specify the password of the auth.client.id
(Optional) Specify the timeframe during which the utility searches for purgeable data:
Instructs the utility to search for purgeable data with timestamps older than the specified number of days from the current date.
Instructs the utility to search for purgeable data with timestamps older than the specified date and time. Use the following format: mm dd yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM. For example,
Sep 30, 2015 11:20:00 AM
NOTE:The utility searches for all purgeable data older than the specified time frame with the following conditions:
If you specify values for both Retention days and Retention date/time, the utility uses the value for Retention days.
If you do not specify a value for either parameter, the utility uses the date and time when you initiate the search for purgeable data.
Save and close the properties file.
To run the utility, see Purging Data from the Operations Database.
