Is there a way to clear the history of all the reports

Question

I would like to clear out the history of all the reports listed in InfoView because many of the links are broke because I was told to delete all the directories containing the pdf's in the Epic\EpicBI\Output folder. Can I  truncate the tables in the database or where does InfoView maintain those links?

Answer 1

If you want to delete all the scheduled instances for reports, it can use the code similar to the following:
IInfoObjects oInfoObjects = oInfoStore.query("select si_id from ci_infoobjects where si_instance=1 and si_name='<report name>'");
for(int i=0; i<oInfoObjects.size(); i++)
       IInfoObject oInfoObject = (IInfoObject)oInfoObjects.get(i);
       oInfoObject.deleteNow();
oInfoStore.commit(oInfObjects);
as a side note, do not try to alter the output file repository or the CMS database directly, it could create lot of issues\inconsistencies in your system and make it unusable.
