3.2.15. Special hints for adding and deleting classes

When classes are added or deleted the index structure is changed. Classes which contain projects refer to the pool files.

What happens with the pool files when the index structure is changed?

Determining for the concrete behavior is the setting under $CADENAS_SETUP/classimport.cfg -> section [CLASSIMPORT] -> key DELETEPOOLFILES.

The key can adopt the following values:

  • 0: (default value) In no case the referenced data in the pool is deleted.[19]

    If a class with projects is deleted but later created anew with the exact same name at any place in the class structure then the "old" data in the pool is automatically assigned and thus becomes visible again.

  • 1: The referenced data in the pool is deleted in any case!

    All same-named classes in the catalog loose their referenced data.

    When you maintain several native catalogs then the same-named classes in other catalogs also loose their referenced data.

    In the currently affected catalog the index is deleted in addition, in possibly existing other catalogs not.

  • 2: Referenced data in the pool is not deleted if a same-named class exists anywhere in the catalog.

  • 3: Referenced data in the pool is not deleted if a same-named class exists anywhere in any of your native catalogs.

    This option is clearly more time consuming than the others.



[19] The explicit deleting of a dataset with the "Delete dataset" command deletes the pool files.
