Chapter 2 Building a Screen : Deleting a Screen Definition

Deleting a Screen Definition
There are a number of methods that you can use to delete a screen definition. Refer to the following table to determine the appropriate method to use:
Was not promoted and is on a node remote to the node where you are presently working
Deleting a screen definition does not delete the screen tables included in the screen definition.
Considerations when Deleting a Screen
If a screen was promoted to another (target) system, you must submit a change request through the Promotion system (of the source system) to have the deletion extended to the target system. If you do not issue a change request to delete the definition, the following occurs:
If a new screen with the same name is created on the source system, the screen cannot be promoted to the target system because a screen with the same name already exists there.
Deleting a Definition Using the Screen Definer
When you are within an existing definition in the Screen Definer you can delete a definition by doing one of the following:
Use the DELETE command.
In either case you are prompted to confirm the deletion.
Deleting a Definition Using a Shareable Tool
The shareable tool DELETE_DEFN is available to you to delete existing definitions. Using this tool, if the correct security access is set up, you can delete definitions across TIBCO Object Service Broker nodes or within your local node. DELETE_DEFN is called from within a rule.
Example Rule
The following rule calls the DELETE_DEFN tool to delete the definition of the DEPARTMENTS screen from Node A. Since a screen definition is being deleted, a value is not required for the argument library.

 
DELETE_SCREENEFN;
_
_ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

_ CALL DELETE_DEFN(’SCREEN’, ’DEPARTMENTS’, ’’, ’’ , ’NODEA’, | 1
_ ’Y’); |
