Deleting Inventory in the Analysis Workbench

Use the following procedure to delete one or more selected inventory items in the Analysis Workbench. When you delete a given inventory item, only that inventory item is deleted. The exception occurs when you delete a top-level inventory item, in which case, all of its direct and transitive dependencies are deleted as well.

Note:In Code Insight 2024 R3, the deletion of an inventory item is handled differently from the standard method described above. When an inventory item—whether top-level or a direct or transitive dependency—is deleted, all of its dependencies are deleted (in a cascade effect). However, if one of the dependencies in the cascade has one or more “parent” dependencies other than the parent being deleted, that “child” dependency is retained, as is its relationship with the other parent(s); but its chain of relationships back to the initially deleted inventory item is removed from Code Insight.

To delete one or more inventory items, do the following:

1.

Open the Analysis Workbench for the desired project. (For instructions, see Opening the Analysis Workbench.)

2.

In the Inventory Items pane, select the one or more inventory items you want to delete.

3.

Right-click, and select Delete.

A Confirm pop-up is displayed, explaining that deleting an inventory item also deletes its direct and transitive dependencies.

4.

Click Yes to proceed with the deletion (or No to cancel it).
