Question
Deleting a class
I have created two classes,
ABC-Int
ABC-Int-
The 2nd one is the correct class. It is an abstract class with many children. The 1st class was created by mistake. I would like to delete ABC-Int. If I delete ABC-Int it should not effect the children of ABC-Int-.
Can anyone provide me the solution for this issue?
Hi
Could you answer below questions
- Which pega version are you using?
- Did you create these 2 classes manually?
If I'm not wrong from 7.2 version creating abstract class by appending "-" is not mandatory.
I tried to create your 2 classes in my local system (Pega 7.3 version - it would not allow to create 2 classes with same name) and failed to create one class (ABC-Int) when one class (ABC-Int-) is available and vice versa. But in Pega 7.1.8 it is accepting to create 2 classes.
Coming to your question, answer for this is "If you delete first class (ABC-Int) using wizard, it will delete child classes which are linked to second class (ABC-Int-) also". Please find attachment "Delete_Class_1.doc"
If you still want to delete then follow procedure explained in the attachment "Delete_Class.docx"
Note: When we delete a class, this wizard will delete all the rules attached to this class and its child classes
Thanks
Hi
I want to add one more thing.
Please let me know "ABC-Int" class contains any rules? If not then you can delete "ABC-Int" class by opening rule and click on delete button.
Thanks
Thank you for your help. your documentation helped me a lot
I am done with the restructure. It is working as expected. All the classes has been replaced with new class names.
Thanks for confirmation
Hi
Go through Rfactor landing page.
System>refactor>Delete a Class.
To be on the safe side, I would rename class ABC-Int to something else and then delete the refactor class.
Have a look at this Online help regarding renaming a class.

If there are no records create with 'ABC-Int' as applies to class you can delete the class.
Run the 'delete a class' wizard and see if there are no references for this. Do not finish the wizard if you dont want to delete the class.
