How to delete a replicated axis ?

Etienne CAUSSE

Hi all,

In our first developments with  Board we created a replicated axis using the function provided by Board, which was afterwards abandoned because of issues created by the conjunction of replicated entity and our data model (Andrea Masiero & Ibrahima GUEYE might recall that nice ticket... ).

 

These days I am working on an application that is using this first database as a template. So I cleared a number of unused entities and deleted some others, but I cannot delete this replicated entity.

If I delete it, unload and reload the database, the entity (in fact the whole tree) comes back as if I did nothing.

 

Is it normal ? What's the normal procedure to "un replicate" an axis ? Is anyone using successfully this function ?

 

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Dear Etienne CAUSSE,

 

we had the same curiosity at other customers.

 

There it was solved by the following way.

 

1. Delete the Replicated entity

2. Change or insert some other entity

3. Save and Reload the DB

 

for that customer we got it work in that direction.

 

perhaps it helps

 

regards

Hi Alexander Kappes and thanks.
It did not work completely, as I have a complete axis to delete (15 related entities): at first it looked like it did not work, and then it looks like I need to create a new dummy entity for each replicated entity I want to delete...

 

It looks like a really strange workaround, but it's actually quite Board-like... I'll test some more and let you know if the database is still consistent.

Hi Alexander Kappes

It looks like my DB is still working after this operation. Thanks for the tip.
