How to automatically delete all PDP policies in a dataset

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm running a PDP automation job in a dataset.

As the initial Orphan configuration is "Keep" so the number of policies increased after each execution. As a result, I'm facing "Java heap space" issue, I guess it means the policy table is too big so it cannot save new policies.

Is there any way to delete all existing policies in a dataset?

I'm checking the guideline in DOMO but it show a manual way ⇒ Go to dataset ⇒ Go to PDP tab ⇒ click on each policy and select "delete"

https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042934614?language=en_US#:~:text=In%20the%20PDP%20tab%20for%20the%20DataSet%20with%20policies%20you,Delete%20to%20confirm%20the%20deletion.

I've tried delete the PDP automation job and create a new one but it doesn't work.

Hope to hear advice from everybody.

You could call the API to get all the PDP policies on the DataSet via this URL: https://api.domo.com/v1/datasets/{dataset_id}/policies
Then you could loop through those policies and delete them via this URL: https://api.domo.com/v1/datasets/{dataset_id}/policies/{pdp_id}

Could you make the job delete all other policies by selecting "Delete" for the "How would you like to handle orphaned PDP policies?" option in the toolkit, then running an automation that assigns a single policy to the DataSet, then manually deleting that one left over policy?

Hey thanks for your suggestion. I tried it with a dataset with 3-4 policies, then it worked. In my case the dataset probably has million PDP policies so the new job run nearly 17 hours but it hasn't removed anything.

I think I need to do API call to delete the policy.
