Delete a Target

Before deleting a Target, be aware of the downstream implications.

NOTE: Deleting a Target removes all mappings set for the Target and all settings related to the Target in Transform. If a mapping associated with the Target is waiting for approval and the Target is deleted, the mapping is removed from the Mapping Approval page.

When a Target is deleted in Target Design:

  • Targets are automatically deleted in Map and Transform
  • Basic and complex rules for the Target are also deleted
  • Metrics that use the Target are updated to remove data related to the deleted Target
  • Pending approvals for the Target are deleted from the Mapping Approvals page
  • Objects that have been built in the database such as tables, views and store procedures must be manually  removed
  • Construction tables and views will not be deleted, and the entry will still exist in the DCS database; however, the tables will not be accessible through Construct
