Is There Any Way to Reclaim Purged/Discarded Object IDs?

  • 1.  Is There Any Way to Reclaim Purged/Discarded Object IDs?

    Is there any way to recover object IDs for objects that were previously purged or added to the module and discarded without saving? New objects in RCRs indicate that this functionality exist as when you re-enter the same RCR, the same object IDs are re-inserted back into the module. Thanks in advance!

    No there is no way to re-use absolute number of purged/discarded objects.

    Doing that would  lead to duplicate absolute number and that is something we really want to avoid...

    The only way - but i asume that is not your use case - would be to recover the folder of the module from backup on the DOORS Server, which would reset the module content and the IDs to a prior state.

    Hey Nikolai, thanks for suggesting this solution.

    I was programmatically deleting and purging object IDs ("reserving") them using DXL and wanted to later make them available again for use via DXL.

    Not sure if you know if this would be possible! Still, though, thanks for the suggestion!

    I am pretty sure that is not possible.

    Me and my team have been programming DXL since nearly 20 years and never stumpled over such a function.

    What you could do is to create and soft delete the objects so you would be able to reuse them by undeleting and moving them to the desired place.

    Maybe that covers your use case. 

    If you beleave that RCR uses a hidden function, you could decrypt the functions and have a look into it.
