If you are in the situation where you cannot delete a DRO from the UI you can go and delete it from the rails console.<\/p>\n

I had the following Dynamic Resource Object Definition:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see I have 2 instances. How do you delete these instances? With both the API calls as well as the UI it seems that it only allows you to delete the\u00a0object definition. If you have 2 instances in the DRO definition it cannot be deleted! Here are the 2 objects:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But when I tried to delete them or the object definition i got.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So how do you delete the DRO’s if you can’t delete them? The fallback option is always IRB.<\/p>\n

Run<\/p>\n

# vmdb\r\n# bin\/rails c\r\nirb> $evm = MiqAeMethodService::MiqAeService.new(MiqAeEngine::MiqAeWorkspaceRuntime.new)\r\nirb> $evm.vmdb(:generic_object).where(:generic_object_definition => 99000000000001).each {|dro| dro.remove_from_vmdb}<\/pre>\n
The\u00a099000000000001 is the dro’s object id.<\/p>\n
If you need to delete only one definiton<\/p>\n
 $evm.vmdb(:generic_object).where(:generic_object_definition => 99000000000002, :id => 99000000000205).each {|dro| dro.remove_from_vmdb}<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Once executed\u00a0you can validate in the UI that the DRO is gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
