Deleting the feature's associated property values

When you have properties with values associated to a feature that you wish to disable, you will need to manually delete the property values—which are stored in the objItem database table— before the feature can be turned off in the configDesc. This prevents you from unwittingly deleting the associated configuration if an configDesc entry is turned off in error.

This example details the changes required to delete the Prediction feature's property values (CD_PREDICTION).

To delete a feature's associated properties

1. Using the AVEVA Measurement Advisor client as a user with Administrator-level permissions, navigate to Admin, and then select Delete Object Item.

2. To delete the property, do the following:

   1. Select Object Type (here, Meter), and click Select Property.

   2. Choose the property that is associated with the feature you would like to turn off.

      In this example, Enable Prediction is selected.

      

   3. Optional: Click Find Objects.

      This will locate the objects that have the property configured. This is purely for informational purposes.

      

   4. Click Delete Property.

      

      The corresponding property will be deleted.

   • Navigate to the measConfig tool and click Update Database.

     Verify no errors are printed, indicating that you have successfully turned the feature off.
