Deleting catalog version objects

You can delete all versions of sales catalogs, categories, and catalog entries (product, SKU, bundle, and kit) using the Database Cleanup utility.

  1. From the WC_installdir/bin directory, run the following script:
    • DB2
      • LinuxAIXFor IBM i OS operating system ./dbclean.sh -object content_version -type typename -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml -db dbname -dbuser user -days daysold -loglevel loglevel
      • Windows dbclean -object content_version -type typename -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml -db dbname -days daysold -loglevel loglevel
    • Oracle
      • AIX./dbclean.sh -object content_version -type typename -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml -db dbname -days daysold -loglevel loglevel -dbtype oracle -dbuser user -dbpasswd password
      • Windows dbclean -object content_version -type typename -instancexml WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml -db dbname -days daysold -loglevel loglevel -dbtype oracle -dbuser user -dbpasswd password

      Use host:port:sid for the database name for example, myhost:1521:mydb.

    Notes:
    • For the -type parameter, you can specify:
      • inactive: Delete all the versions that are daysold from the date they were created, excluding the base version.
      • catalog: Delete all the versions of sales catalog that are daysold from the date they were created, excluding the base version.
