Good morning,

I try to delete a group in this way:

groupParent.Delete(groupChild), but this return false.

groupChild is empty:

groupChild.ObjDefList(true).length=0

groupChild.ModelList(true).length=0

groupChild.Childs(true).length=0

but groupParent.Delete(groupChild)=false

I see that groupChild.ObjDefList().length=1 so I checked if groupChild was locked:

var reportcomponent = Context.getComponent("Locking");

reportcomponent.getLockInfo(groupChild.ObjDefList()[0]) but is getLockState is UNLOCKED.

How I can delete the groupChild?

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

you could debug what obj definition is saved in this child group and then try to find out why you don't see it.

- Wrong filter ?

- Insufficient access rights ?

I have a script that works more or less the same and it runs without problems...

Thanks Robert,

I ran the report with entire method and system user, I checked the access rights and they are correctly set to rwd.

The strange thing is that the report moves a group into another group, creating several new groups, then it consolidate the objects; the result is that

all groups get deleted except this, like if there was something stuck

Is it possible?

Best regards

Hi Tatiana,

ahm well, could be - do you use something like ArisData.Save(Constants.SAVE_NOW) ?

But as I remember, we had some bug like this in the past - where the database was not updated on time and so some things were blocked...

You could also try something like: Datase.clearCaches()

Hi Robert, thanks a lot.

Unfortunately neither of them worked.

I found a curious solution: I open another connection with openDatabase, I search the childGroup and now try to delete childGroup with groupparent.Delete(childGroup).

I don't know why, but it works!

Thanks and best regards
