In this situation no changes are required to the data_engine settings. The NAS_TRANSACTION_LOG table is managed by the NIS BRIDGE settings. These tables are maintained by the nas using the NiS bridge configuration data.

That could be the case here, if you manually delete the unwanted data from the NAS_TRANSACTION_LOG we would recommend taking a backup of the UIM database or table prior to removing the data (if possible) and stopping (deactivating) the data_engine and nas probes.
