Fig. 3. Creating a script for clearing the configuration

The Processed objects unit displays all the objects selected for clearing on the Objects tab.

If you check the box generate sql of the configuration clearing, an SQL file will be generated, containing the configuration conversion script, generated on the basis of the selected objects. Specify the location for saving this file in the field below.

If you check the box generate a bat file for deleting files, an executable bat file will be generated. When you run this file, the selected objects are deleted from the computer file system. Specify the location for saving this file in the field below.

To start the generation of the script, click OK.

After that, changes are not being applied, and the script is only demonstrated. To apply the script, click Convert. If the script does not meet your requirements, go back to the Objects tab and change the required data.

Once the script is generated, the Execution Result unit displays the date and time of completing the script generation, as well as the list and status of the selected objects. You can copy the data in this unit.

Converting a configuration

To start the database and configuration conversion according to the parameters specified on the Objects tab, click Convert in the toolbar. When you click on this button, the Clear the configuration window opens (fig. 4).

This window is similar to the Creating a script for clearing the configuration window.

After conversion, the Execution Result unit shows the conversion start and end date and time.

Attention!

After you click Convert the database will be converted and the changes will be irreversible. Therefore, before converting create a backup copy of the database.

Deleting object files from business processes

To delete the files of the selected objects from business processes, click Delete Files. When you click on this button, the Deleting files from business processes window opens (fig. 5).

This window is similar to the Creating a script for clearing the configuration window. However, there is no generate sql of the configuration clearing option, and there is the Find files button. Click on this button to search for files in the objects, selected for clearing and used in business processes.

To delete files, click Delete Files. To generate a script for deleting the files, click on the Script without deleting button. The script will be written to the specified bat file.

Note, that the Script without deleting button is active only if the box generate a bat file for deleting is checked.
