How to remove data items from BDM?

Q&A
1

Hello,
I am testing a simple process that allows a user to add items to a BDM / business object, show them (this part works now) and remove the selected items.
Example:
I have a business object Book defined in the BDM. I can add books and display them in a form.
My “Remove” task is supposed to remove a selectedBook from the data base. I get the selectedBook from the form and return it to the process via contract.

How can I define an operation for the Remove task that that takes the selectedBook and removes the corresponding item in the Book BO in the BDM?

Thank you!

Hi,

You have an operation called “is deleted”. To access it, just select the instance of the BDM object you want to delete as a left operand in an operation. Then select the option “is deleted”.

Cheers

Hi, as far as i understand, the “is deleted” removes the whole business variable; i need to delete just a record. So, i eventually followed the suggestion above - created a special field that allows to filter out deleted records and not to show them.
