Model Delete

Model delete deletes objects, associations, properties, text, and subset definitions. It does periodic commits to alleviate the duration of the database locks. Because of the heavy amount of database activity, it has a tendency to cause contention across the entire encyclopedia. The first task done by a model delete is to flag the model as unusable from the DMDL table. Periodic commits occur during processing. If a model delete does not complete successfully, you can clean up orphan objects with the cleanup utility.
