Query: On Report Suite Data Purging

Avatar

Level 1

Hello,

 

I have configured one of my Report Suite data with testing environment data. Which is now ongoing testing.

I would like to know if there is some way that I can purge the report suite current data. And start populating acceptance data in same report suite, to have valid data for acceptance testing.

 

Regards,

You might be able to use the Data Repair API, but that comes with additional costs... it likely isn't worth that...

 

I've never purged data myself, I keep our dev/qa suite for testing data, and prod for fully tested / vetted releases... 

 

If garbage data does go into prod, I actually have set up my suites with a "Prod" physical suite, and a "Prod - Clean" virtual suite. Basically, I have a "clean" segment that will clean up / remove garbage data... all our reports are made using the Clean Virtual Suite (and since I have a multiple virtual suites to separate out our individual sites, each one of those also includes the "clean segment")
