im deleteissue

im deleteissue deletes an item from the Windchill RV&S database. Only a user with the DeleteItem permission can delete an item of any type; however, your administrator can assign the ModifyDeleteItemRule permission, allowing a administrator to set a type rule that specifies which users can delete items of that type. Deleting an item removes the item history and any links to attachments, change packages (change package members associated with the item are not deleted from the database), relationships (including both forward and backward relationships), and some history records from related items. If you delete an item containing relationships, the history of each related items denotes the ID of the deleted items, the user that deleted the items, and the date of the deletion.

• Deleting an item is irreversible.

• The ID of a deleted item is never reused.

• If you are using configuration management with workflows and documents, do not confuse an item's change package members with project or Sandbox members.

• Do not delete document model items. Items that play a role in the document data model are linked in a document’s history, so when you delete an item, you change the history of that document as if the item never existed.

If you do delete a document model item, the following is true:

◦ If a document item (segment) is being referenced by a node that exists in another document, the segment item cannot be deleted. For example, document A contains a node that references subdocument B. You cannot delete segment B until you first perform a remove content operation on the node from document A.

◦ If a document item contains content (the Contains relationship is not empty), the document item cannot be deleted. Remove the content before attempting to delete the document item.

◦ If a node is part of a document (node has a Document ID value), the node item cannot be deleted until it is removed from the document.

◦ If the shared item is referenced by any nodes that are still contained by a document, the shared item cannot be deleted.

The --forceConfirm option does not apply to this prompt.

For a content item that is being deleted, the versioned content items, which are not yet associated with any versioned document are included. Generally, these are versioned content items that are created without checking in the parent document. This option is useful when deleting the live contents as it removes the redundant copies of the content.
