Example documentationExample: Recovering Objects Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To reduce the risk losing accidentally deleted objects, you need to maximize the ability to recover these objects. This relates to the decision about where (system) and how (deletion process) you delete objects. The following examples illustrate this:

Example 1:

  1. You physically delete the objects in the quality system.

    Note: In order to keep track of the deletion process and to make the deletion process manageable, it is advisable to divide the set of relevant objects into smaller subsets (packages) before the deletion.

  2. After a defined period, for example two weeks, during which some functional testing of the remaining functionality takes place in the quality assurance system, you release the deletion transport request to the production system.

  3. If you deleted any objects accidentally, they can easily be recovered by transporting them from the development system to the production system.

  4. After another period of time, for example one month, you finally delete the objects in the development system.

Example 2:

  1. You archive the versions in the development system.

  2. You physically delete the objects in the development system.

  3. After a defined period, for example two weeks, during which some functional testing of the remaining functionality takes place in the development system, you release the deletion transport request to the quality assurance system.

  4. After a defined period, for example two weeks, during which some functional testing of the remaining functionality takes place on the quality assurance system, you release the deletion transport request to the production system.

  5. If you deleted any objects accidentally, you must import them from the storage location (for example a compact disc) to the development system and then transport them to the production system.
