You can use the ManageResources
action to delete a question or a question equivalence class.
After you delete an item, there is a short period in which you can undelete it, before it is permanently deleted from the system. See Undelete a Question or Question Equivalence Class.
To delete a question or question equivalence class, you use a ManageResources
action in a POST request method, with the information about the item that you want to delete provided in the Data
parameter as a JSON object.
You must include the ID of the item that you want to delete, and set the type of the operation to question
or question_equivalence_class
, as appropriate.
You cannot delete a question that has the state answered
(that is, a question that belongs to a question equivalence class). You must remove it from the question equivalence class before you delete it. See Update the Question State and Update a Question Equivalence Class.
You can retrieve the ID of the question or question equivalence class by sending a GetResources
action. For example:
http://localhost:12000?Action=GetResources&SystemName=Answerbank&Type=question_equivalence_class
The following example deletes a question equivalence class.
Action=ManageResource&SystemName=AnswerBank data={ "operation":"delete", "type":"question_equivalence_class", "ids": [ "2012912839742797651" ] }
You can retrieve the full schema for the JSON object to use by using the GetResources
action. See Find the JSON Schema for Your Update.
The ManageResources
action fails if you attempt to use request JSON that contains properties that are not contained in the appropriate schema.
Typically, Micro Focus recommends that you send ManageResources
as a POST request. For testing, you can use a GET request, in which case you must base64 encode the JSON data.
