Issues deleting a localization table (Editable System Objects Cannot Be Deleted)

Hi,

 

When importing an extension a localization table was inadvertently imported as well. The issue is that this table has the attribute "aspect.isEditableSystemObject="True"" which means that it cannot be deleted from the Composer.

 

In a similar issue the solution was to export the localization table, set "isEditableSystemObject" to false and import it. However this does not work in this case as the importer ignores the new edited file with the message: "Editable Localization Table Already Exists, Ignoring Imported Object Except for Tokens LocalizationTable [xx] "

 

Is there any other way to delete this specific localization table?

 

Thanks in advance,

/M

Hi @CMabr.

 

After further investigation and testing, it was verified that there is no way to do this via the standard interfaces.

Hi @CMabr.

 

Which version of ThingWorx are you running?  Was the extension you were importing custom or one provided by PTC?  If custom, please provide the extension so we can perform some testing.

 

Regards.

Thanks for the reply @slangley, I am using version 8.3.2-b535 of Thingworx. The extension is Advanced Grid 4.0.1, the "GridAdvancedExampleEntities.xml" file contains the following:

 

<LocalizationTables><LocalizationTable aspect.isCreatable="false" aspect.isEditableSystemObject="true" description="Advanced Grid example localization table" documentationContent="" homeMashup="" languageCommon="AdvancedGrid" languageNative="AdvancedGrid" lastModifiedDate="2018-05-15T15:28:27.913-04:00" name="ag" projectName="" tags="Applications:GridAdvanced"><Owner name="Administrator" type="User"/><avatar/><DesignTimePermissions><Create/><Read/><Update/><Delete/><Metadata/></DesignTimePermissions><RunTimePermissions/><VisibilityPermissions><Visibility/></VisibilityPermissions><ConfigurationTableDefinitions/><ConfigurationTables><ConfigurationTable description="Localization tokens and usage" isMultiRow="true" name="LocalizationTokens" ordinal="0"><DataShape><FieldDefinitions><FieldDefinition aspect.friendlyName="Translation context" baseType="STRING" description="Translation context" name="context" ordinal="3"/><FieldDefinition aspect.friendlyName="Token name" baseType="STRING" description="Token name" name="name" ordinal="0"/><FieldDefinition aspect.friendlyName="Token usage" baseType="STRING" description="Token usage" name="usage" ordinal="2"/><FieldDefinition aspect.friendlyName="Localized value" baseType="STRING" description="Localized value" name="value" ordinal="1"/></FieldDefinitions></DataShape><Rows><Row><context/><name><![CDATA[averageCost]]></name><usage/><value><![CDATA[AVERAGE COST:]]></value></Row><Row><context/><name><![CDATA[functionCalculations]]></name><usage/><value><![CDATA[(function calculations do not include rows that are not visible in grid&#44; unless you perform your own server side calculations like in back-order column)]]></value></Row><Row><context/><name><![CDATA[onBackOrder]]></name><usage/><value><![CDATA[ ON BACK-ORDER!]]></value></Row><Row><context/><name><![CDATA[totalCost]]></name><usage/><value><![CDATA[TOTAL COST:]]></value></Row><Row><context/><name><![CDATA[totalUnits]]></name><usage/><value><![CDATA[TOTAL UNITS:]]></value></Row></Rows></ConfigurationTable></ConfigurationTables><ConfigurationChanges><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-04-24T10:56:47.065-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="MODIFY" changeReason="header : description : updated&#10;" timestamp="2018-04-24T10:58:52.115-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-04-24T11:02:01.612-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-04-24T19:44:12.572-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-04-27T08:31:11.690-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-05-14T12:07:05.637-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-05-15T11:11:55.079-04:00" user="Administrator"/><ConfigurationChange changeAction="CREATE" changeReason="" timestamp="2018-05-15T15:28:27.913-04:00" user="Administrator"/></ConfigurationChanges></LocalizationTable></LocalizationTables>

 which created the unwanted localization table that cannot be deleted.

Hi @CMabr.

 

I imported the sample file that comes with the 4.1.1 version of Grid Advanced but am not seeing a new localization table.

 

In ThingWorx Composer, please browse to Localization Tables and send a screenshot of the tables listed there.  Also, please advise which one you're trying to delete.

 

Regards.
