About this task
This operation is based on properties you set depending
on whether you use batch mode or the SCC API in SCC mode.
Table 1. Controlling file and directory deletion| Batch mode |
SCC mode |
| Set the ConfigurationManagement::Clearcase::DeleteActivation property.
You can set the DeleteActivation property so that Rational Rhapsody does
the deleting automatically or prompts the user to confirm the action
requested. |
Set the following properties, depending on the configuration
management tool you use:- If you are using IBM Rational ClearCase®,
set ConfigurationManagement::SCC::DeleteActivation and ConfigurationManagement::General::UseHybridModeWhenPossible.
You can set the DeleteActivation property so that Rational Rhapsody does
the deleting automatically or prompts the user to confirm the action
requested.
- If you are using IBM Rational Synergy,
set ConfigurationManagement::SCC::DeleteActivation.
You can set the property so that Rational Rhapsody does
the deleting automatically or prompts the user to confirm the action
requested.
- If you are using any other SCC tool, when you delete a package
that is in a separate directory, the product does not make any changes
to the configuration management system. Instead, Rational Rhapsody displays
an error message stating that the operation could not be executed
in the configuration management system.
If
you change the model only, the product deletes the package in the
model but does not change the file system or configuration
management system. If you change the model and the file system, Rational Rhapsody changes
both the model and file system. For more information, see Failure to update the configuration management system.

Note: For this operation, the Rational Rhapsody Undo
command (Ctrl+Z) works only in the model, not
in the archive. You cannot undo a delete operation in the archive.
In some cases, the product cannot delete a file from
the configuration management archive. When this occurs, the product
removes the unit from the model (but does not delete the file on the
hard disk drive or remove the file from the configuration management
system) and displays an error message informing you that the unit
was not completely removed. Check the Output window for additional
messages.
