Recursively Deleting Objects

It is possible to recursively delete objects from a database with ArchiveManager.

For example, to recursively delete all of a case's children cases, make the following changes to the case.arc file:

• Make most of the case body into a routine that can be recursively called.
• Modify the case body to call itself.
• Remove the stop_if that prevents the case object from being archived when it has a child case.

For an example of a file with these changes, see the recursive_case.arc file shipped with ArchiveManager. It is a modified clarify_case.arc file.
