RDNG - Need to delete history of an artifact without losing the artifact ID
I have a need to delete history of an artifact. I can not lose the artifact ID so keeping the artifact is important. I need to remove a particular historical record of a particular artifact, or remove text from a particular historical record of a particular artifact, or delete all history of a particular artifact, or delete all history within a module, or delete all history within a project. The use case is that some data has been entered into an artifact's attribute. This offending data must be removed from the artifact. I can easily edit the artifact and the data is now gone from the artifact but there is a historical record of that change. That historical record must be removed from the system as well. Most current methods will either totally remove the artifact (thus I lose the very important ID). Perhaps copying or exporting would work...but again, need to keep the ID. Thanks! - Mike |

Check the Knowledge center for instructions on how to scrub data spills. That may do what you want. |
As each revision of an artifact that was saved also provides the audit history, which is an important feature of DNG.

I think using ReqIF may help you but my testing result proves otherwise. I exported a requirement to ReqIF, delete the requirement, and import it back. I can still see the entire history. The only change in the history is the latest one for adding the requirement to a folder. You may want to contact IBM Support to find out why the history is retained even a requirement is deleted.
