If you no longer want the system to translate manufacturer
names that are retrieved from deployed assets to the target name that
is specified in the manufacturer conversion record, or if you no longer
need to use a variant of a manufacturer name, you can delete either
the entire manufacturer conversion record, or delete one or more of
the unneeded variant names.
About this task
The following rules apply to deleting manufacturer conversion
records:
- You cannot delete a manufacturer conversion record if any manufacturer
in the deployed assets database tables refers to the target name or
any variant on the manufacturer conversion record. If you attempt
to do so, the application displays an error message.
- If you delete a manufacturer conversion record, the application
deletes all variants associated with the record.
The following rules apply to deleting variants from
manufacturer conversion records:
- You cannot delete a variant from a manufacturer conversion record
if any manufacturer in the deployed assets database tables refers
to the variant.
- You cannot delete the variant that is identical to the target
name on a manufacturer conversion record. To delete the variant that
is identical to the target name, you must delete the entire manufacturer
conversion record.
Procedure
- In the Manufacturer Conversion application, on the List tab,
click either the manufacturer conversion record that contains the
manufacturer variant that you want to delete, or click the manufacturer
conversion record that you want to delete. The application displays
the selected manufacturer conversion record on the Manufacturer
Conversion tab.
- Perform the appropriate steps to delete an entire manufacture
conversion or to delete one or more variant names from a manufacturer
conversion.
