The user may choose between the database operations, truncate or delete. After the user clicks Delete, the DDIC Glue object is deleted the same way as in Glue Data Dictionary. The user may delete also the corrupted DDIC Glue objects, by selecting Force Delete.
The button Truncate deletes only the content of a DDIC Glue object.
Both database operations may be launched in dialog or as a background job. The background processing should be used mainly for big DDIC Glue objects, because dialog jobs can timeout. The user can display the launched background jobs by using the transaction - SM37 Overview of job selection.
Please note that database operations are enabled only for DDIC Glue objects with an Active status.
