Documentum Cleanup Objects Sequence for object types

kaushaldhabadge

Hi,

I have a scenario where I need to delete dm_document, dm_folder, dm_acl, dm_user, and dm_group.

The structure consists of a cabinet containing a folder that acts as a Classroom, with multiple Divisions, and each division further containing Batches—resulting in a deep folder hierarchy. Each folder has specific ACLs, but they are not necessarily the same across all folders.

Every folder contains dm_document objects, and to control access, I have created ACLs, Users, and Groups specifically for this Classroom. Now, I need to delete the entire Classroom, including its associated objects.

Could someone guide me on the correct sequence for deleting these objects?

For example, consider an ACL named dm_classroom_10th_Acl, which has the following accessors:

• Users: User1, User2
• Groups:
  • Group1 (User3, User5)
  • Group2 (User1, User2, User3, User4, User5, User6)
• Default Accessors: dm_owner, dm_world

All these users and groups are specific to this Classroom. Please advise on the correct sequence in which I should delete these objects.

IIRC the consistency checker in the server will only allow deletion of a user if there is no folder or document left in the repository that the user owns. And IIRC I don't believe a user can be deleted if a group exists where the user is a member. A small test with two users and a couple of folders and ACLs should enable you to prove this out.
