how to remove a single document added/loaded by ODWEK?
« on: April 21, 2021, 02:00:54 AM »
hi

we run CMOD v. 10.1.

I'm in a situation, where an application uses ODWEK to add/load documents into Ondemand. Now we need to remove a single document from Ondemand - how do I do that?

Normally I would use ARSADMIN with an unload using the LoadId- but as I understand it, you don't get a LoadId when you use ODWEK. I have looked at using arsdoc - but if I have understood the manual correct - that will only delete the index not the actual document.

Any suggestions or guidance will be received with thanks :-)

Because of the way CMOD 'packages' the documents that it stores, you would have to extract the load, modify the file to remove the unwanted documents, reload it, then remove the old load in order achieve what you want.

Alternately, you could use the Enhanced Retention Management module with implied holds, then remove the implied hold from the document you no longer wish to keep, and only the documents with holds would be kept at reclamation time, effectively achieving the document deletion.

Check with your information management team or legal department on how much effort & cost you should invest in this.
