Reverting and deleting business objects

If you have a damaged business object, you can fix it by reverting to a prior version. Access the version history using the Versions option.

Note: After you revert, you will still see the damaged version in the list. No versions are destroyed through this process. Reverting to an earlier version copies the business object. You get a new version that matches the definition of the object version you selected.

Reverting a damaged business object

Do the following to revert a damaged business object:

  1. Go to RiSE > Business Object Designer.
  2. Select the damaged business object.
  3. Click Versions to access to all prior versions of the object, if any.
  4. Select an earlier version you know to be undamaged.
  5. Click Revert.
  6. Click OK at the following prompt: Are you sure you want to make this version the current working version?

    7. Note: The selected version becomes the current working version. The object is not reverted until it is published.

  7. Click Close.
  8. Edit the new working version's properties, if desired:
    • To revert the object to its prior state, do not make any edits.
    • To create a modified version based on a prior state, make appropriate edits.
  9. Click Publish to publish the object.

Deleting custom business objects

To delete custom business objects, do the following:

Warning! Deleting a business object will disrupt any queries or reports that use the business object as a source. Manually update these queries and reports to use a different source before deleting the business object.

  1. Go to RiSE > Business Object Designer.
  2. Select the business object you wish to delete.
  3. Go to Organize > Delete.
  4. Click OK.

If the business object was created as a panel source, you must delete it from the panel sources window. For more information, see Deleting panel sources.
