Deleting search results with a disposal policy

Content Platform Engine automatically deletes the search results for a sweep when you delete the sweep. In some cases, however, you might want to delete the search results but keep the disposal policy-controlled sweep.

About this task

Here are some instances in which a disposal policy might be used:
Many search results The automatic deletion of search results occurs as part of a transaction in which both the search results and the sweep are deleted. For a sweep with many search results, transaction-related issues might occur, such as timeouts and log overflows.
Record keeping You might want to retain the sweep for record keeping without retaining the search results.

Procedure

To delete search results with a disposal policy:

  1. Creating properties. Define a custom Boolean property for the sweep class CmBackgroundSearch. This property might be called FinishedWithResults. For each sweep, you set this property to true when you no longer need the search results.
  2. Deleting objects with a sweep. Create the disposal policy. Set the filter condition for the policy to be of the following form:
    BackgroundSearch SATISFIES (FinishedWithResults=true)
