To use the Database Maintenance features in Identity Governance, you must be a Data Administrator or Global Administrator.
Select Data Administration > Maintenance.
(Optional) Calculate and view:
Summary of what will be archived in the next archive
Summary of items that could be purged
NOTE:If your database is large, these summaries can take a long time to calculate and can consume significant server resources to produce. Click the Refresh icon to calculate or recalculate Summaries. Calculated summaries expire after an hour, and you must click the Refresh icon to calculate them again. You can cancel a running calculation at any time.
Select Start Maintenance to clean up or to clean up and archive.
To purge data without archiving, select Clean up without archive. Identity Governance cleans up only items that were previously archived in the archive database. However, if you disable archiving, all items can be purged. To preserve your data, archive before clean up. You should also make sure your archive data is backed up in your company’s archive system before you disable archive.
To purge data from the operations database after the archive process completes, select the Perform cleanup after archive check box.
NOTE:Identity Governance disables all user operations during the archiving process.
Select whether to pause after any of the phases.
IMPORTANT:If you pause after a phase, the system does not automatically transition to the next phase or exit maintenance mode until a user either manually starts the next phase, or exits maintenance mode, even if the archive fails or is canceled.
Select the number of days to retain data before it is available to purge.
(Optional) Select Advanced Cleanup Configuration check box to specify retention days per entity type and select additional types of data to clean up.
NOTE:Users can access the application and perform all governance operations while cleanup is running.
Click OK.
