There are no default filter conditions for Data Manager policies simply because these conditions are specific to business requirements, CI classes, etc.

 

A few suggestions:

  • If your PDI is on Xanadu, use Data Manager in CMDB Workspace - not the UI16 version which is being deprecated and lacks features of the new version.
  • You need to retire CIs in order to archive or delete them using Data Manager.
  • Be sure you have at least one Retirement Definition active as retire, archive and delete depend on this.
  • Review the data in your PDI that you may want to test with to identify the fields and values that might be good to use in the Data Filter.
  • If you're working with demo data you can always reload the demo data if it's archived/deleted.
  • If you set the Needs review option in the retire, archive or delete policies, no action will be taken on CI records until the associated task is approved.
  • Scheduled jobs run to execute the retire, archive and delete policies on a daily basis, so find and run these jobs when testing if you want to see tasks quickly.
