Unable to delete category from control tables

998158Aug 18 2013 — edited Aug 19 2013

Hi,

I am trying to delete UAT category from FDM. We do not have this category in HFM anymore and hence I'm trying to delete.

But, I'm getting below error when I'm trying to delete

Error: System must be locked in order to perform this task.

I have checked and made sure that there are no maps or data for this category, but still getting the error.

Can any one suggest me what am I supposed to check further.

Thanks in advance

What the message is telling you is that you cannot delete a Category when there may be other users on the system. You need to apply the System Lock to kick off all non admin users and then delete the Category. The System Lock is the right most option in the POV bar (it will either display Open or Locked). Double click on it, then Lock the system and you will then be able to delete the Category (you will need to be logged in as an administrator to do this)
