 Deleting Inheritance Relationships

Use

This procedure describes how you delete an inheritance relationship. You can decide whether the data passed on to the target specification should also be deleted.

Prerequisites

  • You have the authorizations that you also require for approving an inheritance relationship (see the "Prerequisites" section under Inheritance ).

  • You have executed the Editing Specifications procedure and are on the screen for editing the header data of the specification for which you want to approve an inheritance request.

Procedure

  1. Choose the Relationships tab page.

  2. In the corresponding table, select the row of the inheritance relationship that you want to delete.

  3. Choose with the quick info text Delete inheritance rel.

  4. Specify whether the data passed on should also be deleted.

    If the passed-on data is not to be deleted, it is copied locally to the target specification.

Result

An inheritance relationship in the status Consistent ( ) is assigned the status Ready to inherit ( ). The next background job for the inheritance deletes the inheritance relationship from the header data of the source and target specifications and, if required, also deletes the data passed on in the target specification.
