Clearing item history | HCL Digital Experience

http://[HOST]:[PORT]/wps/wcm/myconnect?MOD=ClearHistory&day=date&month=month&year=year&keep=number_of_entries&restrictOn=item_type&library=library_name&fix=true&preserve_dates=true

day, month, and year

The history details are cleared before the date specified in the day, month, and year parameters. If no date is specified, then the date defaults to one year before the current date.

keep

Specify the minimum number of history entries to keep. For example, if an item has not been updated for over a year, and you specify to clear all history entries more than a year old, but choose to keep the last five entries, all the history will be cleared except for the last five entries even though they are over a year old. If a number is not specified, then the minimum number of history entries to keep defaults to 10.

restrictOn

Select the item types to run the clear history tool against. If no item types are specified, all item types are processed. Use the following parameters for each item-type:

• Content
• Folder
• Project
• PresentationTemplate
• AuthoringTemplate
• ContentTemplate
• SiteAreaTemplate
• Taxonomy
• Category
• SiteArea
• Workflow
• WorkflowStage
• WorkflowAction
• Cmpnt for components

library

Enter a library name. If the "library" parameter is omitted, the default library that is configured in the WCM WCMConfigService service is used.

To run this tool against all libraries, you instead use &alllibraries=true. If you have many libraries, this process can take a long time to run, so it might be better to run this tool against individual libraries instead of all libraries.

fix

If omitted or set to false, a report listing which history items were cleared is displayed. If set to true, history items are cleared as specified.

preserve_dates

If set to true, the last modified date of items that are updated by the module is preserved. If omitted or set to false, the last modified date is not preserved.
