Delete Assemblies
The information provides you detailed unintended consequences when deleting an assembly.
When administrators delete an assembly or assembly template, there can be unintended consequences.
When you delete an assembly or template the following occur:
- The reference location is deleted.
- The assembly or template is no longer available in lists of assemblies and templates.
- For a working assembly, the Sequence attributes page is displayed where you can create another assembly.
- For a single-version standalone assembly, the standalone assemblies list is displayed.
- For a single-version sequence assembly, the Sequence attributes page is displayed where you can create another assembly.
- For a multiple-version standalone or sequence assembly, the current version is displayed in the assembly tree pane.
- For the system current assembly (TIP) that has no former version with an effective status, the previous version of the assembly is unlocked and assigned the TIP status.
- For the current assembly with the effective status, checks for a previous superseded version with the effective status and makes that the current version. If there is no previous superseded version with an effective status, the TIP version becomes the current version.
You cannot delete the following:
- An assembly in current active view
- A locked assembly
- A lifecycle assembly that is finalized
