How Deleting Elements Works

When you delete element levels using the Delete Elements action, CA Endevor SCM performs the following actions and causes these effects:

• Verifies that the element currently exists in the stage you specify. If the element does not exist in the stage, you cannot delete the element.
• Determines whether the element is signed out to you. If the element is signed out to someone else, you must set the OVERRIDE SIGNOUT option to Y to delete the element.
• Removes the list library entries for the element.
• Determines the processor group last associated with the element, and then executes the delete processor in that group if one has been specified.
• Deletes the element base level, and all change levels.
• Updates the Master Control File (MCF) to reflect this processing.

Note: When you delete Predict objects, the delete process only removes CA Endevor SCM information. It does not remove the CA Endevor Integration for the Natural Environment FDIC file entry.
