SAS^® Customer Intelligence utilities do not provide the functionality to delete multiple campaigns or campaign groups or other Customer Intelligence Public Object Types quickly.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After you apply the hot fix, a new utility (-useraction DeleteAssetsQuickly) is introduced. To run the utility, locate the folder where the utilities are stored (typically in SASHOME\SASCustomerIntelligenceUtilities\6.5). If you run the command line in default mode without the -delete parameter, the command lists all campaigns and groups that it will delete.

Notes:

• Any user who has permissions for the SAS Customer Intelligence public object types can delete those objects.
• Using this utility does not update the SAS Customer Intelligence Common Data Model DELETED_FLG column  to a value of Y.

The following examples illustrate how to use the new utility to delete SAS Customer Intelligence public object types.

Example 1

In this example, all campaigns in the folder /Campaigns/Examples/ are listed when you submit the following command:

Important: To actually delete campaigns, campaign groups, or any other SAS Customer Intelligence public object types, you need to add the -delete option at the end of the command, as shown below:

Example 2

When you submit the following command, you create a file (in this example, Treatments.txt) where you can list all treatments that you want to delete:

Adding the -delete option, as shown below, removes the treatments that you list in the file that you created.

In this command, -filetype specifies a file (UTF-8) that contains a list of paths within the business context for the given type. For example, the type can be any SAS Customer Intelligence public object types. These types are listed in Chapter 11, Command-Line Utilities of the SAS^® Marketing Automation 6.5: Administrator's Guide.

Note: The text file needs to contain the path and the object name (for example, Definitions\Treatments\TestOne). The path and names are case-sensitive.

Example 3

This example illustrates how to delete campaign groups:

Example 4

This example illustrates how to delete selection campaigns (by including the whole campaign path):
