Plan a Subset to Delete Shared Objects

The different parts of the model shares all scoping objects. Some non-scoping objects, like information views, can also be shared. Sharing objects makes it easier to develop and maintain applications, but it also complicates subsetting:

To delete a shared object in a subset:

You must be granted Delete protection for the proper scoping object.
The subset must include all references to the object.

Note: A preferred alternative to deleting objects in a subset is to use the Model Management function, delete, or rename objects within model.

Note:Before an attribute can be deleted from an entity type, it must be removed from any information views. To identify the information views involved, generate the Host Encyclopedia Delete Prevention Report. To delete a prompt, you Modify protection for all screens that use it and Delete protection for the owning entity type. Before you can delete a template, all screens that use it must be in the subset.
