Deleting Objects

Note: This task applies only to Siebel Tools.

This topic describes how to delete an object.

To delete objects

1. Create or open a Workspace.

2. In case of non-Workspace enabled objects, in the Object List Editor, locate the object that you want to delete.

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

   Note: In case of Workspace-enabled objects, you cannot delete any predefined object. If you try to delete the object, it will return an error indicating that deletion is possible only for objects created in the current version and that you must inactivate the record to proceed further. For more information on making an object inactive, see About the Inactive Property.

3. Ensure that either the project or the object is locked.

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 About the Inactive Property.

   The object and all its children are deleted. For example, if you create a business component named My Account Business Component and you delete it, then Siebel deletes all child objects (such as fields) of My Account Business Component . 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.
