Hi,

 

I would like to delete a Table. I have removed all dependencies which I have known but know I can not delete it because of some dependencies where I do not know what they are. Can someone give me some Information on this?

    Thank you all for your help! I've marked the solution. I deactivated and deleted the business process flow on this table and then I had no more problems.

    Hey @StephanPrnb,

    To answer your last question, no JavaScript is not considered plugin or a SDK Processing Step. If you're having trouble find the exact plugin steps causing the depedencies, you can try unregister (see image below) the whole plugin assembly in the Plugin Registration Tool that @Mira_Ghaly mentioned.

    Another option, I'm assuming you're working in a dev environment since you're trying to a delete a table. You can try to create a fresh dev environment (env), then with new a solution, add the tables, apps, etc you want from the old dev env and import the solution into the new env. This should remove your plugin dependencies.

    How can I do this? I have never worked with plugins. Or are custom javascript's for eventhandlers also considered a plugin?

    It is only a small project I am making for my department. It is still under development and we recently have done a rework of the system so we need to change the Table and the most important part ist that we would like to change the primary column of the table.

    As far as I know we do not have any plugins installed in the solution.

    Reading this topic the only question comes in my mind.

    Are you happy with removing part of the system  which potentially affects plugin's flow? As I understand you don't know if plugin is still workable or not. In case you work in the commercial project team this deletion may cause huge problems for entire technical design.

    @StephanPrnb - Sdk Message Processing Step refers to the Business Rules applied to your table/entity. Deactivate and then delete these Business Rules in order to remove the dependency (Microsoft do not do a good job of explaining this).

    Can you look for any of the plugin steps registered  as None?

    I'm trying to delete the "Phone Number" Table. It is a custom table I made.

    @StephanPrnb 

    What is the table you are trying to delete?

    Also error message is talking about phone number column.
