Utility to purge resources from the Dependency Database

Entries in the dependency database contain two timestamps (First_Run and Last_Run). When the customer makes changes to a resource, dependencies may be removed or added by the change. Therefore, a process is needed to allow the customer to purge resources from the dependency database such that it maintains its data integrity.

THis should include tha capability to collect/delete/archive by application versioning
