Delete an Exposed property
What is the procedure to delete an exposed property?
Is it enough to delete the property rule in Pega or should we do updates in the DB.?

To keep things tidy:
- Ensure there are no references to the property
- Delete the property rule in Pega
- Delete the column in the DB
- Re-save the Database Table Data Instance
Hope this helps,
Ben

Hi Naveen,
I don't think that you need to delete the property in Pega, if you delete the property then it will be deleted permanently. You just need to remove the column added in the table in database.

@Naveen, i misunderstood your requirement as how to make the exposed property as unexposed. For deletion of the property permanently you can follow the suggestion provided by Benjamin below.

Hi,
You can use RDB method I believe.
Thank You
