Mass CO Deleter Cloud App Documentation

Purpose

There are situations where you might need to delete Custom Data Object Records (CO Records) in Eloqua for analysis or clean-up purposes. That’s where this app comes into play; the Mass CO Deleter deletes all CO records for all CO sets that are linked to a specific contact. This document will show how this Cloud Action can be used inside Oracle Eloqua.

A few things to note while configuring the Cloud App:

  • Select the options you require:
    • Remove all mapped CO records
    • Remove all unmapped CO records (requires an Email Address field with a matching value in the CO)
  • To exclude specific Custom Objects, select them from the drop-down and click add
  • Select Bulk Mode only if you’re processing more than 5,000 records at a time
  • The ‘Logs’ Tab is pretty self-explanatory as shown in the snapshot below:

Additionally, if you happen to see records stuck in the Cloud Action step, it may be due to a missing or expired License which you can get with your corresponding Account Manager.
