Red Hat Satellite: Cleanup "Actions" history

I had run in to a situation where my Satellite had several hundred-thousand previously run scheduled jobs sitting in the history... I could delete them 25 at a time... and if I did "Select All" it would puke.

So - I created the following

#!/usr/bin/env python
import xmlrpclib
import time

SATELLITE_URL = "http://rhnsat01.company.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "satadmin"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "notMyPassword"

client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)
delete = 1

key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)

## Delete all Failed Actions
x = "Deleting all Failed Actions"
print(x)
failed_list = client.schedule.listFailedActions(key)
action_ids=[]
for action in failed_list:
    action_ids.append(action['id'])

archive_result=client.schedule.archiveActions(key,action_ids)

## Archive all Completed Actions
## Generate an Array of size (max_num_ids) and purge it
x = "Archiving all Completed Actions"
print(x)
counter = 0
max_num_ids = 100
archived_list = client.schedule.listCompletedActions(key)
action_ids=[]
for action in archived_list:
    print action.get('id')
    action_ids.append(action['id'])
    counter = counter + 1
    if counter == max_num_ids:
        del_result=client.schedule.archiveActions(key,action_ids)
        time.sleep(.1)
        action_ids=[]
        counter = 0

## Delete all Archived Actions
## Generate an Array of size (max_num_ids) and purge it
x = "Deleting all Completed Actions"
print(x)
counter = 0
max_num_ids = 100
archived_list = client.schedule.listArchivedActions(key)
action_ids=[]
## Traverse Array in reverse [::-1]
#for action in archived_list[::-1]:
## Traverse Array in forward [:]
for action in archived_list:
    print action.get('id')
    action_ids.append(action['id'])
    counter = counter + 1
    if delete == 1:
        if counter == max_num_ids:
          del_result=client.schedule.deleteActions(key,action_ids)
          time.sleep(.1)
          action_ids=[]
          counter = 0
