How can i remove all the contents of Centera?
Hi all,
My name is Antonio and i'm a java developer. My problem is the next.
We need to remove all the contents of Centera, but we don't have the clip-id of those objects. However we know any description attributes of every FPClip (all of them have the same).
Is there a way of remove all the contents of Centera?
Please, excuse my english.
Thanks a lot!

As an "end user", the only way for you to delete content from a Centera is via the Centera SDK DeleteClip API (with the associated Content Address / clip ID).
To delete all clip, you must use the Query API (as demonstrated in the Query Cluster code sample) to retrieve and then delete each clip (as demonstrated in the DeleteContent code sample) in turn.
If you have a Basic Edition, then retention is not enforced so all content can be freely deleted. For a Governance Edition, only content whose retention has expired (or has been set to 0) can be deleted using the normal Delete API; content with active retention has to be deleted using the Audited Delete API and the associated DELETE_PRIVILEGED option.
For a Compliance Edition+ cluster, only content with zero or expired retention can be deleted; if you have clips with active retention then the only way these can be deleted if to send the cluster back for factory reinitialization.
Note that even after deleting all the content, there will still be Reflection markers left behind for the old content. If you truly want to "wipe" the cluster then these would have to be "expired" via an EMC service / support engagement.
