Attachments and test scripts storage
4 answers
RQM leverages the attachment capability in the underlying jazz platform which is done in a generic way. There is an attachment repository where the attachment is stored (there is a REST API to get/put an attachment - has its own URL). Then there is a linkage from the artifact like test script to the attachment.

Question:
Is there a way to "remove" an attachment? Both from RQM and "permanently" from the DB?
Example:
We have tester A who writes in CQTM and puts his test logs stored in location A, and then tester B who writes puts his 8GB test logs attached to his test logs.
We can delete the 8GB test logs, but the "space" is still reserved in the DB.
The lack of management on this is a little more problematic then only this.
Sometimes an test evidence is corrupted or attached at the wrong test execution record result and the tester remove the links to the attachment from the results details, but if that occurs a lot, the RQM DB grows way more then what it was expected.
Is there a way to manage this?
