Roadmap for deleting data with Optim on distributed platforms

Use this roadmap to guide you through the delete process with Optim™ on distributed platforms.

To delete data:

  1. Create a delete request

    Use the delete request editor to define parameters for processing the delete request. These parameters include the source file and processing options. You must also include a table map, which can include a column map.

    • Create a table map

      Use a table map to specify correlating source and destination tables of compatible data. You can map tables that have different names, modify table names, exclude tables from a process, or include column maps for greater control over the data.

    • Create a column map

      Use a column map to define the specifications for mapping columns of compatible data between source and destination tables. You can map unlike-named columns, modify data, or exclude columns from a process. You can include one or more column maps in a table map.

  2. Run the delete process

    Use the delete request editor to run the delete process. The delete process removes subsets of related data from a database.
