Purge DPH tables during tenant clone
Learn more about why and when you must purge your DPH tables if you request a tenant data clone.
What is it?
DPH tables store stateful pipeline execution data for your tenant. These tables are not reset or purged automatically during a tenant clone process.
Who is it for?
This guidance is for technical teams who manage DPH-enabled tenants and participate in cloning or environment provisioning workflows.
Why would I use it?
If old DPH data is left in place during a clone, it can interfere with the cloned environment and cause:
- Duplicate processing of pipeline jobs
- Outdated results or stale outputs
- Pipeline execution errors due to inconsistent state
When and where would I use it?
You should purge DPH tables in either of the following situations:
- Before the tenant clone begins, to ensure a clean export
- Immediately after cloning completes, and before activating any pipelines in the new environment
How does it support business goals?
Purging DPH tables ensures a clean transition between environments and helps you:
- Maintain data processing integrity
- Avoid operational risks from inherited pipeline state
- Support safe testing, onboarding, or environment replication
