To delete a business rule link, the business rule set and business rule that it links need to be specified.
windchill wt.businessRules.DeleteBusinessRuleObjects "typeOfObjectToDelete:key:containerPath:key:containerPath"
The argument for the object to delete needs to be in quotes since container paths may contain spaces. If a business rule or business rule set is deleted, then any link the object was a part of is also deleted. One or more objects can be specified, separated by a space.
