Strategy ONE

Delete Managed Objects One-By-One

When you delete managed objects one-by-one, you individually select which managed objects you want to delete and which you want to keep. You can perform this clean-up for any of the Freeform SQL, Query Builder, or MDX cube source database instances included for your project.

For example, you decide to delete a single Freeform SQL report that automatically created a new managed object named Store. When you delete the report, the managed object Store is not automatically deleted. You do not plan to use the object again; however, you do plan to create more Freeform SQL reports and want to keep the database instance included in the project. Instead of deleting the entire Freeform SQL schema, you can delete only the managed object Store.

To Delete Managed Objects One-By-One

  1. In Developer, delete any Freeform SQL, Query Builder, or MDX cube reports in the project that depend on the managed objects you want to delete.

    If you are removing MDX cube managed objects, you must also remove any MDX cubes that these managed objects depend on.

  2. Right-click the project and select Search for Objects.
  3. From the Tools menu, go to Options.
  4. Select the Display managed objects and Display managed objects only check boxes.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Enter your search criteria and select Find Now.
  7. Manually delete managed objects by right-clicking their name in the search result and selecting Delete.
