Well there is a known bug with the SYS:Action form that BMC knows about and there is going to be a fix in the next release which form what they told me is 7.5 in which records are not being deleted from the SYS:Action form. Our form had about 800,000 records that should not have been there. There is more to that though because when we started to try and delete those records manually we got errors that would not let us delete them so we are working through that as well. I will let you know what it is when I find out. BMC said that we can created a escalation in the meantime to delete those excess records and that is what I am going to do as soon as we figure out why we cannot delete them. The error is, ARERR [102] Name parameter (or name field in a parameter) is empty : 300427600 in case anyone has ever come across that.

So, what records are _supposed_ to be retained in SYS:Action? I just took a look at our production server and there are 5 DLDLOADFOUNDATION CFG:LoadBusinessTimeHolidays records from when we loaded foundation data that probably shouldn't be there, and then 5,323 UPDATESLMREASON records that appear to be every individual action (all different support staff login names as the Submitters) to provide a reason why an SLM was missed for a specific Incident. You would think that those would go away after being posted to the SLA, but that integration was so buggy that there is just no telling. What kinds of records are sitting in the SYS:Action form on your server?
