Delete window
Use this window to remove a type from a VOB. When you delete a global type object in an administrative VOB, all copies of the type are deleted from VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy.
Restriction: You cannot remove an element type from a replicated VOB.
Attention: If the Delete command
fails for any reason, you must address the causes of the failure and enter
the command again. Continue until the command completes successfully and the
type is removed. Failure to complete the delete operation results in inconsistent
metadata.
Attention: Deleting a type may have
unintended consequences. For example, deleting a label type may change the
versions that are in a view if the view uses a label to select versions.
Remove all instances of this type
If any instances of the type exist, set Remove All Instances of This Type. If you set this check box in a regular VOB, all instances of the type in the current VOB are deleted. If you are deleting a global type object in an administrative VOB, all instances of the type in all VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy are deleted.
If you delete a branch type, all versions on associated branches and any subbranches are also deleted.
