Delete OMW Project...

Hi list....

If I delete a Project on OMW, are the objects within that project also
deleted?

It depends on whether you checked them in and when you deleted the project.

Scenario 1 - You Deleted the project, but never checked in the items. Then..
yes I believe they are deleted.

Scenario 2 - you deleted the project, but checked in the items, but the
status of the project is still in the test environments.. Your objects are
in that environments central objects, but not in the production central
objects.

Scenario 3 - you deleted the project, checked in the items and the status of
the project is set through Production (38 usually)... then you should be
okay.

Any one else have feedback? thanks, Bobby

My understanding is that deleting the project that has objects checked out will erase the check out's and release the tokens. A lot can depend on how OMW has been configured on your system.

Thank's Bobby...this is the situation:

I've a project with around 4000 objects(it´s a project created by an update)
all objects are checked in and working fine in production.... When I need to
modify any of those objects, I get the message that the object is being
modifying under another project (the big project created by the update) so I
had to remove one by one those objects from the big project; but if it´s
safe to delete the entire project then I'll be saving a lot of time.

Thank's again.

Hi Ricardo,

That project can be deleted no problem except that it is going to take a long time to delete. I delete those project all the time since I build full packages after an update.

Also, you are going to have to delete that project in the JDEPLAN environment on your deployment server.

Re: RE: Delete OMW Project...

Ricardo, does the message say something about a token? Actually, when you remove an object from a project you release that object's token.
AND, it may be helpful to have the project or a list with your project's objects available, at a later time.
It is safer to release a token, versus deleting a project (or removing objects from that project).
Therefore I would consider:
- checking in all the objects under development, and
- releasing the token for ALL objects, with a simple SQL (directly on your Database)
By the way, what Database are you using? On what platform? ... ? See mine
Warm regards,

Richardo,

There is also a UBE that you can use to purge objects out of a project. It is R98222B...just create your own version.

Re: RE: Delete OMW Project...

I assume the message that you are getting is actually something along the line that the object is currently in an 'Open' project. What you need to do after a project has been successfully moved to PD and is accepted, is to move the Project to a status '01' - Closed. Depending on your OMW config, this should release all tokens (if they haven't been already, and with the project now 'Closed', you message goes away. BTW - '01' is a hard code JDE status to indicate closed.

Thank's all for your help.

Adrian you were right, it took around 45 minutes to be deleted

Thank YOU for the feed-back ... and stopping this brainstorm.
