Problems with Purging

Question

I want to purge the repository tables by using the OWB runtime audit viewer, but it takes more than half an hour to do this. I can only see that the following commands are running:
DELETE FROM wb_rt_feedback
WHERE rta_iid = :b1
and:
SELECT /*+ ALL_ROWS */
COUNT (1)
FROM "CPP_DMT_YMNF"."WB_RT_FEEDBACK"
WHERE "RTA_IID" = :1
What's happening (I've analyzed the tables)?
Is there a command to purge these tables by using e.g. a SQL Plus command (without using the runtime audit viewer)?
Regards,
Maurice

Mike,
The way it should work... but it may take a while to load the page, is if you first specify a date range to filter. With an open end date you should see everything.
Alternatively, implement the following package in your runtime repository schema and you can programmatically purge:
create or replace package owb_purge is
procedure execution_until(p_date in date) ;
end ;
create or replace package body owb_purge is
procedure execution_until(p_date in date)
is
cursor c_audit(b_date in date) is
select execution_audit_id
from all_rt_audit_executions
where created_on < b_date
order by created_on ;
begin
for r_audit in c_audit(p_date)
loop
wb_rt_audit_purge.purge_execution(r_audit.execution_audit_id) ;
end loop ;
end ;
end ;
Thanks,
Mark.
