Deleting a New Software Revision

After you delete a new software revision from DSM/SCM, you cannot recover it. To

delete a new software revision:

1. In the Configuration Revisions window, select a configuration revision for which a

new software revision exists (indicated by an asterisk [*] next to the configuration

name).

2. Select File>Delete revision.DSM/SCM displays a dialog box asking you to

continue with or cancel the deletion.

3. Click Continue. DSM/SCM deletes the new software revision.

Deleting Products From a New Software Revision

1. In the New Software Revision window, select one or more products.

2. Select Products>Delete product, or press the Delete key.

Deleting Old Software Revisions

You can delete individual software inputs only if a configuration revision is not using

them. To delete any software input, you must delete all software revisions that link to it.

Delete a software revision only if you are certain that you will never need that specific

software revision again.

You cannot delete a current revision or previous software revision:



A current revision is the last configuration whose state is applied.



A previous revision is the second to last configuration whose state is applied.

To delete an entire software configuration, which removes all of its revisions, see

Deleting a Software Configuration (ZPHIHMI) on page 17-23.

You cannot delete any configuration more recent than the two revisions. For example,

in this Revision History window, you cannot delete soft

ware revisions 17 through 19.
