[edit] Overview

This is a Job that clears all of a store's data. It is primarily designed for developers to reset their store to a known state for automated testing, but can be useful in other circumstances too.

When this Job runs it removes all of the following:

• all RDF in the Metabox
• all items in the Contentbox
• all RDF in User Graphs
• all indexes of the above

Note: data deleted by this Job is non-recoverable so be sure to use it with caution

[edit] Sample

The following Job Request specifies a Reset Data Job to be run at 14:30 on the 2^nd May 2008. NB Time is UTC.
