Option to schedule automatic purge (permanent deletion) of archived artifacts in RQM project areas.

Currently there is no direct option in RQM to schedule archiving of assets. Infact any deleted test asset in RQM is automatically in an archived state since it is never removed from the dB unless the dB is wiped out.

This means we need to compromise on the performance by keeping thousand's of test asset inside RQM.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
