DigEraseHardDelete Workflow

This workflow permanently deletes all entries from a table/tables which are matching the configured conditions.

The workflow is usually configured via a Workflow Scheduler which takes care of instantiating a workflow based on a schedule. Please see Configuring Workflow Scheduler for more information.

Examples

Hard-delete entries that are soft-deleted and unchanged since 90 days

IncludeSoftDeleteOnly = True
IncludeProtected = True
EntryUnchangedSinceDays = 90
EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected = -1

Hard-delete entries that are soft-deleted, without deletion date and older than 60 days

IncludeSoftDeleteOnly = True
IncludeProtected = True
EntryUnchangedSinceDays = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected = 60
EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected = 60
EntryDeleteDateOlderThanDays = -1

Hard-delete entries that are delete protected, without deletion date and older than 30 days and entries that are not delete protected, without deletion date and older than 90 days, even when they are not soft-deleted.

IncludeSoftDeleteOnly = False
IncludeProtected = True
EntryUnchangedSinceDays = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected = 90
EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected = 30
EntryDeleteDateOlderThanDays = -1

Hard-delete entries bellowing to the class “Text“ in specified tables

IncludeSoftDeleteOnly = False
IncludeProtected = True
EntryUnchangedSinceDays = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected = -1
AdditionalXmlFilter= “<XmlFilter><And><Field Name=”Class”>Text</Field></And></XmlFilter>“

Hard-delete everything in specified tables

IncludeSoftDeleteOnly = False
IncludeProtected = True
EntryUnchangedSinceDays = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected = -1
EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected = -1

Use Case	IncludeSoftDeletedOnly	IncludeProtected	EntryOlderThanDays IfUnprotected	EntryOlderThanDays IfProtected	EntryUnchanged SinceDays	EntryDeleteDate OlderThanDays	AdditionalXmlFilter
DAVID default	True	False	-1	-1	30	-1
SoftDeleted and entry unchanged since n days	True	True	-1	-1	30	-1
SoftDeleted and entry older than n days	True	True	90	90	-1	-1
Older than n days	False	True	30	60	-1	-1
Delete date reached	False	True	-1	-1	-1	0
Class “Text”	False	True	-1	-1	-1	-1	<XmlFilter> <And> <Field Name=”Class”>Text</Field> </And> </XmlFilter>
Everything	False	True	-1	-1	-1	-1

Logic: IncludeSoftDeleteOnly AND IncludeProtected AND EntryUnchangedSinceDays AND (EntryOlderThanDaysIfUnprotected OR EntryOlderThanDaysIfProtected OR EntryDeleteDateOlderThanDays)
