Utilities: Link Maintenance

1min

Link Maintenance allows a simple tool to maintain ArchiveLink links.

This is often used after client refreshes in order to "reset" the links in non-production environments as well.

This utility differs from the Attachment List Dashboard in that allows for multiple links to be deleted at one time while the dashboard only allows for one deletion at a time. 

To execute Link Maintenance, enter transaction /dflow/sys and choose the menu path Configure->Dashboards->Link Manager->Mass Maintenance.

Make sure to limit the search results by at least a Doctype and Archive ID (required fields) to help narrow down the results.  

This utility can also be run in the background for large processing to be completed in the background to avoid timeout issues with foreground/dialogue processing.
