Deleting Update Sets

[Sashi K1]

Hi there

Is deleting an Update Set would impact anything on system? Will the versions created for all code changes under a configuration will be eventually deleted when an Update Set is deleted after removing changes under it? I thought, an Update Set is a logical group of changes listed under it, but deleting an Update Set with changes will not delete changes from versions. is that correct or wrong?

I know deleting Update Set is not a good practice, instead we could make them as IGNORE. But wanted to check deleting would impact anything? starting from code versions to anything else?

Thanks in advance
Sashi

I think you're right. As long as you clone from /prod again before upgrading, you should be fine. But I don't have experience with that, so I'm really just guessing based on what I do know.

Thanks for your time & information. Great help.

My instance will not allow me to delete update sets. Even ignored ones. I am in an elevated Admin role.

Why not?

I found that I can delete some update sets, though. I can't figure out what the difference is . . .

You can delete your update sets. If you could delete a few but not all then I would check your ACLs on the sy_update_set & sys_updateset_xml tables. Also check the update set state either make it completed or ignored. Prior deleting it, please enable 'Debug All' to see which ACL is preventing you that.
