As a beginner to Datastream 7i, I am currently in the midst of integrating the system into our company's operations. While working in the testing database, I created several users and user groups that I now wish to remove. However, I encountered an error message stating, "This record cannot be deleted because it is linked to another record within the system."
Hello mech29, the error message you received indicates that there are transactions linked to the user in question. In order to delete the user, all records associated with them must also be removed. To address this issue, you can choose to "disable" the user account instead.
Thank you for responding. In order to delete a user, will disabling them first be necessary? If not, how can I go about removing all records associated with that user's account? mech29
Hello mech29, I don't believe that simply disabling a user account is the best solution. While disabling the account prevents the user from logging in, there may still be lingering records associated with the account. Deleting the user could result in inconsistent data within the database. It's unclear if DSTM 7i offers an archiving tool that safely removes user data without causing any issues.
To remove a user from an employee's record in WORK EMPLOYEES, first delete the USERID associated with the EMPLOYEE. After ensuring that no requisitions or work orders have been processed under this userid, you can proceed to delete the USER record.
mech29 reported encountering error messages when attempting to delete users, suggesting that the accounts in question may have been active. This complicates matters and adds a layer of difficulty to the situation.
It sounds like these users and user groups are still tied to active tasks or data within the system, meaning they can't be deleted until those links are removed. I would suggest finding all the instances where these users/groups are linked with active tasks and either complete or remove those tasks. I remember having a similar issue when I was new to Datastream 7i and it was resolved once I disconnected the users/groups from all other active elements within the system. I hope this helps and let us know how you get on!
This is a common issue that beginners face when first working with Datastream 7i. It's really all about understanding how the system's relational database structure works. The error message indicates that your user/user group is associated with another record, which means you need to first find and take care of these linked records before you can delete the user or user group. It could be a task assigned to that user or a permission set on the user group. Locate these connections, delete them if it's not necessary, and then you should be able to eliminate the users and groups as you wish. Do remember, manipulating relational databases demands a careful approach to maintain data consistency.
It sounds like you're trying to delete users/groups that are still linked to other records or tasks in the system. Usually, Datastream 7i doesn't allow deletion if the item in question is associated with another record. Hence, make sure to unlink or sift through any related tasks or records these users/groups could be associated with prior to the deletion. Also, don't forget to double check with your system's or project's administrator to ensure that all necessary changes have been made accordingly to prevent any future issues.
