Remove Executions from the Database - Controlled Procedure
Remove Executions from the Database - Controlled Procedure
Removing executions from the AIQ database should be treated as a controlled administrative operation. Execution records can include report history, evidence, logs, and troubleshooting details that may be required later.
Required checks
- Confirm the exact execution IDs or date range to remove.
- Verify that stakeholders no longer need the related reports or evidence.
- Create a database backup or snapshot before any delete operation.
- Use supported AIQ retention or cleanup features when available before changing database tables directly.
Safe workflow
- Run read-only queries first to confirm the target records.
- Export any evidence that must be retained.
- Perform the removal during a maintenance window.
- Verify that current executions, reports, and dashboards still load after the cleanup.
- Record what was removed, when it was removed, and who approved it.
Warning: Do not remove executions with open-ended conditions such as unrestricted dates, empty filters, or unverified IDs.
