Is there a way by script to flush the store and forward quarantine data (as we can manually do with the gateway web page)

You can, but you’ll need a module to get access to the gateway context (in any semi-sanctioned way, that is)  
From GatewayContext, get the history manager with `context.getHistoryManager()`, then `getQuarantinedDataInfo(<storeName>)`; then get the ID from each quarantined item.  
Then from the history manager, call `deleteQuarantinedData(<storeName>, <idsToDelete>)`.

```auto
name = "ignition"
if not initialChange:
	from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import SRContext
	from java.lang import Long
	context = SRContext.get()
	qi = [Long(qdi.id) for qdi in context.historyManager.getQuarantinedDataInfo(name)]
	context.historyManager.deleteQuarantinedData(name,qi)

```

Quick example of how you could do this. This has to run from the gateway.
