Delete a lifecycle policy
The Content Engine lets you delete a lifecycle policy only if it is not assigned to a document class. Take care when deleting a lifecycle policy. If a
policy is assigned to a document, deleting the policy puts the document in an invalid state.
To delete a lifecycle policy
- In the tree view, expand Object Stores > object store name > Document Lifecycles.
- Select Document Lifecycle Policies. The details pane lists all currently defined lifecycle
policies.
- Right-click the desired lifecycle policy and select Delete. The system displays a message, asking
you to confirm deletion.
- Click Yes to verify deletion. The system then determines if the policy is assigned to any document
class:
- If the policy is assigned to a document class, the system displays a list of document classes and aborts the delete request.
You must remove the lifecycle policy from each document class specified before you can delete the policy.
NOTE The system does not check whether the lifecycle policy is assigned directly to a document.
- If the action is not assigned to a document class, the system deletes the policy and removes the deleted policy from the
details pane.
