Tag Deletion

In the new Tags module, data for a single tag can be distributed over multiple databases to allow for different disciplines, possibly operating in different locations. For any tag, the data for each discipline is stored on a separate object but presented as if on a single object. It is thus possible to delete a tag but not have access to delete all of the distributed data, and this can result in orphan objects remaining.

The Delete Tag Orphans.pmlmac macro (available from AVEVA Support Knowledge Base) can be run in the Tags module to find and delete orphan objects. Please note that all relevant databases should be current before running this macro (it contains a warning). It maintains a log of its results including any errors where it is unable to delete an object. It may need to be run at different locations to tidy up periodically.
