Deleting a Meeting
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
To delete a meeting, create a message request with the DeleteMeetingRequest element. In the following example, the meeting is identified by its mid. The attribute erase can be used or left out, which by default sets **erase=**False.
<PlaceWareConfCenter authUser="apiuser" authPassword="Pa$$w0rd">
<DeleteMeetingRequest erase="false">
<StringQuery fieldName="mid" operator="=" value="4cdgd56z1g87zcm4"/>
</DeleteMeetingRequest>
</PlaceWareConfCenter>
When the meeting is deleted, the following reply is returned.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<PlaceWareConfCenter>
<DeleteMeetingReply></DeleteMeetingReply>
</PlaceWareConfCenter>
When a meeting status is set to deleted by issuing the DeleteMeetingRequest, the meeting and uploaded resources are removed from the schedule. Deleting a meeting recording requires a DeleteRecordingRequest. If the account administrator has enabled meeting and recording restoration, the deleted meeting, the meeting content, and recordings can be restored. The meeting is restored by the account administrator with a single RestoreMeetingRequest operational message. To restore the recording, the account administrator issues a RestoreRecordingRequest. For more information about deleting and restoring meetings, see Maintaining a Meeting.
Permanently Removing a Meeting
Meetings can be permanently removed by completing one of the following actions:
Setting the DeleteMeetingRequest erase attribute to True, after first deleting a meeting with erase="False" and deleting the same meeting again with erase="True" to permanently delete the meeting.
Allowing an Expired or Deleted meeting to reach the buffer time limit without restoring the meeting.
Note
If the restoration is turned off for an account by the account administrators on the menu (point to Account, point to Roles and Policies, and then click Edit Meeting Policies), manual deletion (from Live Meeting Web client or XML API with erase="False") or expiration of a meeting directly takes the meeting to the Removed state. This is because the administrator turned off restoration of meetings and therefore it does not need to go to the Deleted or Expired state.
Note
When Removed, a meeting cannot be restored by any method.
