Deleting Resources
The Destroy button in the Grouping Manager toolbar lets you delete user-defined
resources from the EPICenter database. The destroy function removes the resource from
the database entirely, removing it from all groups where it exists as a child.
You can only destroy resources whose source is “Manual” (except for the
predefined groups) and the root groups of imported resources. You cannot destroy
the predefined groups, system-defined resources (devices, device groups, or ports)
whose source is EPICenter, or individual imported resources (where the source is a file,
LDAP database etc.). If you select a resource you cannot delete, the Destroy button will not
be available.
To delete a user-defined resource do the following:
1 Select the resource in the Component Tree.
2 Click the Destroy button on the toolbar.
A confirmation dialog will be displayed. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete
this resource.
If you delete a group, any orphaned children of thegroup(resources that are notmembers
of any other group) are also deleted.
If you delete a Host or User, all relationships to other resources are also deleted.
To remove a resource as a child of a group, use the Remove function, see “Removing A
Child Resource from a Group” on page 8-15. This just removes the parent-child
relationship with the group, but does not delete the resource from the database.
