How to Delete a Single Policy Object

To delete a single policy object use action d against the policy object that you want to delete.

This displays a confirmation panel; the example shown in Figure 1 lists any links that exist to the policy object.

If the policy object to be deleted has any policy objects selected in its WHERE USED policy item (as reported in the confirmation panel), deleting it will automatically remove it from the corresponding policy items in those other policy objects (see Figure 1 for the corresponding policy items).

Links between APL policy objects of object type CLASS and object type INSTANCE are treated analogously.

If a class is selected for deletion and there are objects linked to it that inherit data, a confirmation panel is displayed. However, if a class is deleted that has only upward links, a confirmation panel is not displayed. These upward links are removed without further notification because there are no objects left that lose the data.
