Purge Data Module from Information Structure
You can remove a data module (DM) from a structure using a Purge action, which will carry out these actions:
• Remove the DM content holder from the information structure
• Break links from all other objects to the purged DM
• Delete all iterations of the DM from the folder structure
You can invoke a Purge action when the following conditions apply:
• The Windchill Service Information Manager — S1000D Module is installed
• You are working with an S1000D product
|
|
To purge an ICN Metadata File (IMF), you must be working in an S1000D 4.2 product.
|
• You have the Product Manager role
• You have selected a single DM, which is not checked out to another user
The Purge action is disabled for DMs under these circumstances:
• A BREX DM that is linked by another DM
• An ACT, CCT, or PCT DM
• At state Issued
• Part of a Change Request
• External content (content or content holder is located in an external container)
To purge a DM from an information structure:
1. Select the DM in the information structure.
2. Select the > context menu item.
The Purge Object dialog box is displayed.
If you have selected the DM in the Information Element List, use the > menu choice.
3. The dialog box displays a list of links to the DM that will be broken if the DM is purged.
|
|
Entries listed in red text represent links from external objects and baselines. If these exist for the current DM, you will not be permitted to complete the Purge action.
|
4. Click Yes to complete the Purge action.
A confirmation message listing the status of the action is presented.
|
|
If you have purged an IMF, its linked ICN remains in the structure and the product.
