Removing a path-based data model

You can delete all definitions and items in item types that are defined specifically for the path-based model and Clb model extensions by using the PathModelDestroy tool.

About this task

The PathModelDestroy tool deletes all items within the following item types:
  • ClbApplication
  • ClbLibrary
  • ClbDocument (if exists for IBM® Content Manager Collaboration Services)
  • CmisDocument (if exists for IBM CMIS for Content Manager)
  • ClbFolder
  • ClbDraft
  • ClbTextIX (if exists for IBM Content Manager Collaboration Services)
The PathModelDestroy tool also deletes all items that were created by the PathModelCreate tool.
Important: The PathModelDestroy tool deletes the data model from IBM CMIS for Content Manager. Your library and folder configurations are deleted with any documents or folders in the item types in the previous list. The tool stops the first time that it fails and does not proceed with any further deletion after the first failure. The tool does not delete definitions that are in use. So, if you extended other item types, you must clean up these item types before you run the tool again. If you created new item types by using definitions that support the path-based model (including any attribute and group definitions), you must remove any usage of these item types. Then, you can run this tool again, and the tool starts at the place where it stopped.
Restriction: The PathModelDestroy tool does not remove MIME type definitions that were added by the PathModelCreate tool when you configured the repository. The MIME type definitions are not removed because it is likely that they are used by other users and other applications. If existing items use the MIME type, and the definition is removed, you cannot update the affected items again unless the MIME type is changed to a valid MIME type. You cannot delete definitions that are being used by existing data. Therefore, to ensure that your existing applications remain working with the rest of your original item types and items, the MIME types are not removed.

In an interactive mode, the tool prompts you for all required options. You can also run the tool in a silent mode by specifying the options and values. You can use either the single character or the full name of the option.

To display a list of available options, enter java com.ibm.content.cm.tools.PathModelDestroy -? or java com.ibm.content.cm.tools.PathModelDestroy -help.

Procedure

To run the PathModelDestroy tool:

Run the Java command with the following format: java com.ibm.content.cm.tools.PathModelDestroy -options values.
