Request Parameters

The entityDeleteRecord method takes the following input parameters. It is important to note that the parameters must be passed to the method in the same order as they appear here in order to satisfy the requirement of the input validation checks.

Name Type Attributes Description
application appNameType Optional Specify the name of the application this operation relates to. If not specified then “system” is assumed.
entity simpleIdType Required The name of the entity you want to update a record for.
keyValue xs:string Required
Array (1/∞)
The key value for record(s) in the primary entity that you wish to delete.
preserveOneToOneData xs:boolean Optional
Default=false
Set this to ‘true’ if you want to prevent oneToOne related data from being deleted. The default value if not specified is ‘false’
preserveOneToManyData xs:boolean Optional
Default=false
Set this to ‘true’ if you want to prevent oneTomany related data from being deleted. The default value if not specified is ‘false’
indexHoldOffTime indexHoldOffTimeType Optional
Default=30
The amount of time (in seconds) to hold-off adding to the index. If zero is specified then this operation will add the document to the index and return when it has completed. IMPORTANT NOTE: In practice, even if you specify a index hold-off time of zero this operation is still asynchronous which means the update may be deferred if there are other transactions pending and being applied too. If you specify a value greater than zero then the document is added to an in-memory queue and returns to the called, the document is then held in the queue for the number of seconds specified before being committed to the index. This effectively makes the operation asynchronous. It should be noted that when using a indexHoldOffTime the document you are adding to the index will not be found in any subsequent search until the indexHoldOffTime has been reached.

Response Parameters

auditTransactionId xs:string Optional The GUID of the API request used to record data audit trail records
