Using Run Control Delete
Run Control data that is no longer used or processes that are no longer executed can be deleted through simple configuration. An activity guide is provided to review and delete run control data.
Note: Currently the Run Control Delete functionality is available only for the FSCM and HCM products.
End users can delete their own run controls, whereas administrators can delete run controls created by all users. An end user is a user without the Administrator role. For more information about setting up user permissions, see PeopleTools: Defining Permissions.
Custom run control pages and processes can be registered for run control deletion. For this, you must identify the list of records used in the custom run control page and process, which saves the run control data. These records should have RUN_CNTL_ID and OPRID as the key fields.
Prerequisite for Run Control Delete
Run control data can be deleted only when it is purged by running the system purge process. Run Control IDs for processes that are run, and for which the system purge process has been executed, are eligible for deletion, see PeopleTools: Submitting Process Requests for more information.
