Clearing data for a domain

Administrators can clear model data to remove invalid golden records from a repository.

Before you begin

Clearing model data is useful in scenarios where you want to keep the attached model and source configurations in the repository but permanently remove all records in the domain. When you clear model data, you have the option to return source configurations in the model to a pre-initial load state.

Clearing model data only affects data within the selected repository.

caution

Clearing model data deletes all records in the repository associated with the model. Deleted data cannot be restored.
