Maintaining Workspaces

The following information is about how to properly maintain workspaces created outside of the Main and Approved workspaces. All workspaces are maintained in System Setup under the Workspaces node.

Creating Workspaces

You cannot create new workspaces. Workspaces created prior to STEP 9.2 are still accessible in later versions but cannot be duplicated.

Workspace Log

To view the activity and changes that has taken place in a workspace, go to System Setup and right-click on the workspace to view the logs for the particular workspace selected.

Deleting Workspaces

If a workspace is no longer needed, it can be deleted. Before deleting a workspace, make sure to transfer data that should be kept to another workspace before deleting. Deleting a workspace is very time consuming. The Main and Approved workspaces cannot be deleted.

For Oracle databases, this action requires single-update mode (SUM), as defined in the Single-Update Mode topic. For Cassandra databases, this action uses Lock-free Schema Change (LFSC) functionality, as defined in the Lock-free Schema Change topic.

Note: The workspace for a current Object is selected from the Workspaces list (upper right corner).

  1. In System Setup, open Workspaces, and then click the workspace to be deleted.
  2. Right-click, and select Delete.

  1. A Delete Warning dialog box appears. Click Delete to delete the workspace.

Note: It is not possible to delete the Main workspace and the Approved workspace.
