Usage notes

  • A step based on this step template only removes data from a single repository. If data must be removed from multiple repositories, include multiple steps based on this step template in the workflow.
  • The value of the Search criteria property can contain entries for multiple archive searches. Make sure that each entry is on a separate line separated by a carriage return.
  • You can enter the search criteria directly in the Search criteria property or store it in a file. If the search criteria is stored in a file, enter the full file path.
  • To generate the value of the Search criteria property in the correct format, use the Search function on the Archive tab. Enter the search options that this step uses and click Search. At the bottom of the Search criteria list, you can see the search criteria.

    Copy all the text after the number in parentheses and paste it into the Search criteria property field or into the search criteria file.
