Delete projects

This endpoint uses a command to delete projects.

• Delete is a cascade action, as no fence can exist without a project.
• if any fence would violate this rule after deleting a project, it will also be deleted.
• Information about all deleted fences will be sent in the Response.

Additional Response fields:

• deletedFences:
  • A Response field containing all deleted fences.
  • Fences that are assigned to the project being deleted, but which also have a relationship to other projects, are not deleted.
  • Only their relationship to the deleted project is removed.
• removedRelationsToFences:
  • A Response field containing all fences which are not deleted, but whose relationship to the deleted project is deleted.
• removedRelationsToObjects:
  • A Response field containing all objects which are not deleted, but whose relationship to the deleted project is deleted.
  • Unlike fences, objects can exist without a default project.
  • So, deleting their default project does not automatically delete them.

The delete command can also be used in dry run mode, which removes nothing, but sends information about cascade removals in the Response.

Project deletion takes place via the following steps.

1. Delete every fence that only exist in the project being deleted; relationships are also removed.
2. Remove relations to fences that exist in other projects.
3. Remove relations to objects that have the deleted project set as their default project.
4. Delete the project.
