Clear All Rules
To clear all rules:
1. Open an existing profile and select the Rules tab.
Note:  The Data Profiler .dp artifact is not supported in DataConnect 12.5 and therefore cannot be opened for editing. It has been replaced by a .dq (Data Quality) file and a .dq.rtc (Runtime Config) file. Please recreate the profile as .dq and .dq.rtc artifacts. You can right-click on the .dp file to view profile content in a JSON editor. Also note that some rules have been deprecated or replaced with new rules. For more information, see Deprecated Rules.
2. Click .
3. The Delete Confirmation message is displayed.
4. Click OK to delete all rules.
Caution!  Deleting rules that produce derived fields will also delete the derived field and rules associated with the derived fields.
Tip...  To undo and redo this action, select Undo/Redo from the Edit dropdown menu (at top left) or click Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y (respectively).
5. Save the profile.
