What is the purging process of old test artifacts?
Currently, when a test artifact is "deleted" it is actually just "archived" from my understanding. This can obviously cause files that are not needed to exist on the db. I ran across this plan item: https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Quality%20Manager#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=52743 that sort of addresses the topic but not entirely. Our dba team has a goal to keep up on purging processes and we would like to get back to them on the purging process used by RQM.
So, my question is what exactly is the timetable to purge out old test artifacts? Thanks for your help! |

Hi James
Currently RQM does not purge any items from the system but archive (hide) it as you also mentioned. The plan you mentioned is actually to support unarchiving the artifacts which once has been archived. As a start, RQM v4.0.1 will support purging attachments associated with Test case result for special role. See this story James Paulus selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Pramod, is there a timetable to increase this functionality beyond just attachments? To me, it seems like this functionality should be extended to all test artifacts that a team does not need. James,
