Purging data objects

This endpoint and its methods are deprecated and are removed in October 2023. We recommend that you use the Data Lake and Compass endpoints from the Infor Data Fabric suite instead.

The Data Lake API suite provides methods to purge data objects from Data Lake.

You can purge the data object using one of these methods:

  • The purge/filter method.
  • A two-step approach by first calling the v1/payloads/list method to receive the list of data object id(s) and then purging data object(s) using the purge/ids method
This table shows an overview of the available API methods for purge data object:
Method Type Description
/v1/purge/ids DELETE Purge data object by its ID.

You can retrieve object IDs by passing filter arguments into the /v1/payloads/list API and capturing the dl_id value from the API response.
/v1/purge/filter DELETE Purge data objects based on filter arguments passed in the API request.
Note: Purging data objects from Data Lake deletes the data object payload from ION OneView.

When purging from Purge API the process does not clear the matching reformatted Compass data. It is required that you manually clear the Compass data after purging. You can use the Compass API to run the clear data administration procedure. In the clear data parameters use the object name and the oldest store date of the data objects that were purged.

For instructions on how to clear Compass data see "Clear data" in the Infor Data Fabric User Guide.

Note: The clearing of Compass data is not applicable for AWS GovCloud.
