Delete Operation
Deleting an object means deleting it from the persistent store. Optionally, the delete operation can be called with an objectType parameter, which is one of the pre-defined LifeCycleManager interface names. If this parameter is specified, only objects of that type are accepted for delete. The interface names shown in the following list are allowed for a deletion; all others are rejected with an InvalidRequestException.
*LifeCycleManager.ASSOCIATION
*LifeCycleManager.CLASSIFICATION
*LifeCycleManager.CLASSIFICATION_SCHEME
*LifeCycleManager.CONCEPT
*LifeCycleManager.EXTERNAL_IDENTIFIER
*LifeCycleManager.EXTERNAL_LINK
*LifeCycleManager.ORGANIZATION
*LifeCycleManager.REGISTRY_ENTRY
*LifeCycleManager.REGISTRY_PACKAGE
*LifeCycleManager.SERVICE
*LifeCycleManager.SERVICE_BINDING
*LifeCycleManager.SPECIFICATION_LINK
*LifeCycleManager.USER
Objects have relationships to each other: some relationships prohibit object deletion, while other relationships are automatically cleaned up during deletion.
RegistryObject
In general, an attempt to delete a registry object is rejected if:
*it is a new object, that is, it has not yet been saved, or
*it is the target of an association.
Deleting a registry object has the following side-effects:
*Removes the object from all its packages; update the packages.
*De-links the object from all its external links; update the external links.
*Deletes all associations whose source object is the object to be deleted.
*Deletes all classifications whose classified object is the object to be deleted.
*Deletes all external identifiers whose registry object is the object to be deleted.
