IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1

Deleting objects with a sweep

You can create a disposal policy to delete objects of a specified class.

Note: A disposal policy cannot delete objects that are currently held or under retention. Such objects are not recorded as processed or failed.

Procedure

To create a disposal policy:

Start the New Disposal Policy wizard in the administration console:
1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
2. In the object store navigation pane, select the Sweep Management > Sweep Policies > Disposal Policies folder.
3. Click New.
Optional: Select the Enabled property to enable the sweep to run.
Note: Some sweep properties cannot be set in the wizard; they can only be set in the sweep object after it is created. Time slots and FilteredQueryTimeout are two such properties. If you need to change default values of properties that are not available in the wizard, disable the sweep in the wizard. You can enable the sweep later, after you change default property values in the sweep object.
Complete the wizard.
