Cleaning Data Tables of old data
I recently discovered that data from deleted Scenarios is not removed from many of the application data tables (XFW_PLP_Plan, XFW_PLP_Register, ...)

Or am I unaware of the tools to perform such maintenance?
Member Dimension correction

I've also tried via DM sequence and selecting my own server which did not help.
Scenario security to prevent data load for Actuals via XFSet
Is it possible to place a restriction on a scenario member to prevent data write via XFSet? This would prevent data load via XFSet for Actuals (so the workflow can't be bypassed), however would allow data send via XFSet for budget / forecast scenarios. Would appreciate any input if other users have dealt with this issue in the past.
