In this article, we will look into how to test the destruction object SOCIAL_DESTRUCTION.
ILM Retention Management is a licensed product, which is really due to the fact that the predecessor to full ILM capability was data archiving which was always included as part of the core suite.
Maintain destruction rule for your destruction object in tcode IRMPOL.
If for specified Audit area, there is already rule created for it, press Continue (it means you want to edit the existing rule). Or else press New for creation.
Below screenshot is a sample for retention rule maintenance. It means all social posts which are created ONE YEAR ago must be destroyed.
After you finish the rule edit, please make sure the policy status is set to “Live”, or else it will be ignored by rule engine in the runtime.
There are several variants which you can use to launch destruction functionality provided by destruction object.
Test Mode: Under this mode, destruction program only does analysis on social post and list for each post, whether it could be destroyed according to resident time maintained in IMG activity and rules maintained in IRM rule maintenance view. No real deletion would be done.
Production Mode: Do the same analysis as Test Mode. The only difference is the real deletion would be done, if a social post is judged as destructible.
