I am trying to clean up a few messes here. I have requirements (objects) that are to be deleted, however may have inlinks from other modules. There are 2 issues.
1.) Though the icon for an inlink is present, hovering over the icon shows " 0 Links". 2.) When navigating the inlink to the source module I am given the following message. "The object this link refers to is now deleted." Both of these issues is stopping me from deleting the object(s) of interest. Can anyone point me in a direction. I have been looking in the link modules and sets, but am not finding anything enlightening. |

Yup, lots of DOORS functions behave oddly like that.
So "this module" has a "target object" with incoming link from a deleted "source object" in the "other module". Open the other module for Edit. Go back to this module and select the source object. Link Menu >Edit links. Select the link ... [1] You should be able to delete it from here; you'll need to eventually want to save the other module. [2] The "ID" column has the absolute number of the deleted source object. Go back to the other module, View menu > show > deletions, then GoTo (cntrl-g) that object. You could delete the link from here as well. - Louie |

Louie,
Thanks for the tips. Turning on View Deletions was the key. However, the objects that show the inlink icon and report "0 Links" show no links in the Link Menu -> Edit Links. I am also unable to delete these objects because they "think" that they have a link. This is wacky. |

This sounds like the problem with missing displayed links. The target objects could not see the links that clearly exists from the source's perspective. The solution was to open the source module and access all the links. This access somehow redisplayed them in the target module, odd. Attached code can be run from the other module and clears up this issue.
I don't recall if the source has to be open Exclusive or not. - Louie |

Thanks for the help. I have been able to clear up well over 100 errant links. Though I still have 12 remaining that display either the "0 Links" or have none displayed but upon deletion give the error message that they have X number of links. For those remaining I fear it is much worse. Edited: 7-Jul-2006 at 01:31 by Marlin Wegner |

Perhaps you have no read access to the other module or the other object. You can clear that up by logging in as the 'Administrator'.
Perhaps the other modules are deleted but not purged. You can find them by displaying deleted items via the View menu of the DOORS explorer. |

Just a note, make sure you check that the object you are trying to delete does not have any children with in-links. You may have an object at a lower level beneath the object you are attempting to delete that has in-links.
