Hi David,
deleting an infoObject from an database table is everytime difficult. The correct solution depends on different requirements:
- How many datasets are in the infocube - how large is the cube.
- Can you reload the data from a source or an DSO
- Does your release support remodeling.
The best solution would be - delete the data, transport your change of datamodel to prod system and reload the data. The second solution could be: create an copy of the actual infocube, load the the data from the original cube to copy, delete the data from original cube, transport your changes to prod system, load the data from copy to "new"original cube, delete the copy.
You can also try to use the remodeling function. But there is no guarantee that this will work correct. We made some good and some bad experiences with this tool.
Cheers
J.
