Plan Alternative to Subsetting for Object Deletion

The shared objects are easier to delete on the host, for example, when the required scoping object creates an large subset or many objects that are required to be in the subset are missing at checkout.

When the deletion in a subset is undesirable, use Delete or Rename Objects, an option on the Host Encyclopedia Model Management menu. This function lets you delete objects at the host level, without defining and checking out a subset.

The same rules that govern the deletion on the workstation govern deletion on the Host Encyclopedia. For example, you cannot delete an object that is checked out with any protection other than Read.
