Maintaining IADB

U · Post by U » Wed May 04, 2011 1:40 am

I have searched for an answer to this without success.

Is there any mechanism within the Information Analyzer tool to remove entries no longer needed from IADB?

Right now it seems to me that the only way is to do this in the database itself, which involves understanding the table naming standards therein.

Thank you for your time.

I think you will have more functionality in version 8.5 - I believe there are functions for deleting metadata in the newer versions. Do not know if that includes IADB metadata or just Metadata Server metadata but I figure if you delete metadata via Workbench it would need to clean out the IADB related metadata as well.

I've had a bit of a look around in 8.1 and can't find any IADB management capabilities in the Information Analyzer tool. Next week I hope to be on an 8.5 site, and can check there.

The Repository Management tab in Web Console for Information Server only works with XMETA, though it does have the useful ability to identify duplicates of repository objects.

Would you be thinking of the table management functions under the investigate category for the IA tool ?.

You are right Brett, the table management function in IA has open, delete and view metadata functions.
