Overview

A Syndeia Digital Thread Project cannot be deleted using the Syndeia client if it has any children (Relations, Queries & Collections, Baselines, and Permissions). In order to delete a Digital Thread Project and all its children recursively, the Digital Thread Project delete command can be used. This action will trigger a cascading delete starting from the Digital Thread Project whose Syndeia key is provided in the command parameters. It will remove all the below “owned” by that Digital Thread Project:

  • Relations,

  • Queries,

  • Collections,

  • Baselines, &

  • Privileges

This action is irreversible.

Prerequisites

  1. The user performing the deletion must be super.user and

  2. The user must have the following privileges on the project below:

    • Digital Thread Project Privileges

      1. READ

      2. RELATION_WRITE

      3. BASELINE_WRITE

      4. QUERY_WRITE

      5. PRIVILEGE_MANAGE

  3. If you have enabled HTTPS only, please ensure you have updated the web-gateway URL in the lagom.services section of the devops' conf/application.conf file beforehand (see for more details)

Deleting Digital Thread Project

The delete digital thread (cascade) can only be run from the Syndeia installation server.

  1. Login to the server where Syndeia Cloud is installed.

  2. Navigate to the folder $SC_HOME/devops-3.6/bin (eg. /opt/icx/syndeia-cloud-current/devops-3.6/bin)

  3. Run the command to start the cascading delete of the repository.

    ./devops -Dsyndeia.client.action=delete-dtp -Dsyndeia.delete.dtpKey=<digitalthread_project_sKey> -Dsyndeia.client.username=<username> -Dsyndeia.client.password=<password> -Dconfig.file=/opt/icx/syndeia-cloud-current/devops-$SC_snapshot_version/conf/application.conf

    … where,

    • digitalthread_sKey: the Syndeia key (sKey) of the Digital Thread that you want to delete (eg. DT1, DT2, DT3, etc.)

    • username: Username of the user with appropriate privileges

    • password: Password for the username provided.

The digital thread key of any project can be retrieved from the Digital Thread Explorer or using the Syndeia Cloud REST APIs

  1. Once the command is run, the Syndeia DevOps client will systematically start deleting the contents of the given Digital Thread Project:
