Model Delete

Model delete deletes objects, associations, properties, text, and subset definitions. It does periodic commits to alleviate the duration of the DB2 locks. Because of the heavy amount of database activity, it has a tendency to escalate to tablespace locks that causes contention across the entire encyclopedia. The first task done by a model delete is to remove the model 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 utility TIECLEAN.
