Deleting Objects

This topic describes how to delete an object.

To delete objects

1. In the Object List Editor, locate the object that you want to delete.

   For more information, see Locating and Modifying Object Definitions in the Object List Editor.

2. Make sure the project that the Project property references does not allow object locking.

   For more information, see Allowing Object Locking for a Project.

3. Check out the project that you examined in Step 2.

   For more information, see Checking Out Projects from the Server Repository.

4. Click the Edit menu, and then click Delete Record.

   CAUTION:  It is recommended that you do not delete a predefined object. Other objects might reference this predefined object. Instead, you can make this object inactive. For more information, see Using the Inactive Property.

   Siebel Tools deletes the object, and it also deletes any child objects of this object. For example, you create a business component named My Account Business Component. If you delete this business component, then Siebel Tools deletes all child objects of this business component, such as fields. It does not delete objects that only reference the object that you delete. For example, if you delete a view, then it does not delete the applets that reference this view.
