Removing Duplicate Reports That Are Stored on the SAS Content Server

If you rerun a report job multiple times in a day without processing additional days of data in between, then the report job generates multiple instances of the same reports on the SAS Content Server. These reports remain on the SAS Content Server until they expire and the corresponding report job is rerun.

To eliminate duplicate reports from the SAS Content Server, you can perform one of the following tasks:

Allow the duplicate reports to expire as you continue to run the report job that added them.
Remove the reports manually by using the SAS Content Server Administrator Console. For more information, see the chapter about administering the SAS Content Server in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide.

Note: Update the cache after deleting reports from the SAS Content Server. For information about how to do this, see How to Refresh the Cache for Gallery Manager Reports.
Override the expiration date by using the Gallery transformation and rerunning the job. Use caution when implementing this option. Depending on your settings, this implementation can delete duplicates as well as all previous versions of the report that were created by the report job.

Note: You can change the expiration date on the Report Definitions tab of the Gallery transformation. Access this tab by right-clicking the transformation.
