Remove External Transactions

Explanation

Use this activity to remove all transactions related to an external load. This can be useful in two cases:

• After having loaded and/or unpacked an input file then it is found out that the transactions are not valid and the load of the file must be performed again.
• It is required to re-create output transactions due to e.g. not having supplied sufficient or incorrect conditions during the output file process.

Please note that if transactions exists for the load when the Load External Input File activity is performed again, this will lead to that transactions are added to the load. If this is not required then this activity should be used to remove the old transactions first.

Prerequisites

An external load with connected transactions must be available. The status of the load must be Loaded, Unpacked or Packed.

System Effects

All transactions associated with the external load will be removed and the load will get the state Empty.
