Purging systems in bulk in TMS

[pbogomolnyi@gmail.com]

Hi,

We have a requirement to purge a large number (several hundreds) of endpoints from TMS (ver. 15.6).  Looking for a way to perform this operation in bulk.  I don't see any way to feed a CSV file to the system purge process, nor do I see any documentation suggesting TMS supports REST API's for the purpose of purging endpoints from the database.

Ideas would be very welcome.

Thanks.

I'd suggest you work with the Cisco TAC for such a large delete.   The engineers often have ways of easily completing large tasks like this in the SQL backend rather than using the front end web interface.  Having TAC involved (or at least on standby) will also help if anything goes wrong and you need assistance in backing out any major change like this.

Direct modification to TMSNG (TMS database) is not supported.  Only way supported method to purge devices is through TMS system > Navigator.  Select your endpoints, click Delete, and click Purge on the next window.
