Understanding the purge activities

Purge activities remove instances from the import datasets that have been marked for deletion. When the Scanner Service no longer discovers an existing CI, a BMC Atrium Integration Engine data exchange marks the instance as Deleted. The data exchanges that handle deletion are similar to those that transfer new and updated configuration data from the Inventory database. The data exchanges that mark deleted items have names beginning with Pull_Keys_ars_inv, and by default they run every 24 hours.

Deleting a dataset

If a computer system is deleted, BMC Atrium Integration Engine also sets the MarkAsDeleted flag for the components related to the computer system. These related components remain deleted until a purge job runs in BMC Asset and purges them. A discovery source can rediscover a computer or component in the future and enter a new record for it. If the TokenId of a rediscovered component matches that of a deleted record, and the BMC Asset purge job has not yet run, BMC Asset can reinstate a deleted record.
