Deleting objects from servers or files with Migrator

Although you typically delete objects from within Developer Studio before you migrate, you can delete objects (including locked objects) from servers or files by using Migrator. To make sure that nothing is affected by the deletion, Migrator runs a check on the object that you want to delete.

Locked objects can be deleted only in blocks. Deleting one object that belongs to a locked group deletes the entire group. Deleting a locked form that is part of a join deletes the join form.

To delete objects

1. In the right pane of the server or file window, select the objects you want to delete.
   Migrator cannot delete Distributed Server Option(DSO) Map-related forms, User and Group forms, and AR System-specific forms, such as the User Preference form. Also, Migrator does not support deletion of data in .migrator forms.
2. Select Edit > Delete.
   If other objects are affected by the deletion, those objects are listed. If no other objects are affected, a confirmation message appears. 
3. Confirm that you want to delete the objects:
   • Click Yes to delete the specified selection and continue to the next object.
   • Click No to skip the specified selection.
   • Click Yes to All to delete all the selected objects.
   • Click No to All to stop the deletion.
