How to delete an operator?

[god_prophet]

I have disabled some accounts, but I cannot delete them from ACC.

I get error:  cannot delete document type "Operator" since it is reference by another document of type "Content channel"

@god_prophet 

you should not delete an operator as they can be referenced to multiple objects (workflows, deliveries, schemas, forms, etc)

Adobe added this restriction in the latest releases as it was possible before but the delete was creating multiple severe conflicts in the jobs.

That being said, if you really need to delete an operator, you have to find all the objects created and/or modified by this operator, then assign them to an existing and valid operator. 

Once the operator is not linked to any objects then you can delete.

Thanks,

David

Hello @god_prophet 

Here is what you can do.

• Find the Primary key of operator you want to delete.
• Find the Primary key of some other operator.
• Query all workflows, delivery templates, resources, Content Templates, workflow templates, campaign templates where createdby-id or modifiedby-id = primary key of operator you want to delete
• Then update the value of modifiedby-id and  createdby-id with the value from step 2
• Delete the operator.

For the record: I was told by Adobe to just disable the users (account disabled set to "Yes"). So when migrition happens (from 7 to , they'll only carry on active accounts.
