How to Delete a Business Component

This topic explains how to delete business components. Deletion of a strategic business component results in the deletion of all its associations with tactical business components. Similarly, deletion of a tactical business component results in the deletion of all its associations with strategic business components and assets. In addition, if a business component that is being used in projects, reports, queries, dashboards, or the integrated overview is deleted, it will be displayed with the word "deleted" in parentheses next to its name.
