Can not delete objects with inboundReferences by API REST delete method

[Daniel Canizalez]

Hi we have a problem when try to delete object with inbound references 

we use DELETE method: DELETE:XXXX/rest/insight/1.0/object/436352

but it responds with HTTP 500 because it object have a inbound reference, there is a way to force delete

Hi @Daniel Canizalez ,

are u sure that inbound reference is the problem? Error 500 should be an Internal Server error.

Please let us know about error reported at the log file level.

Btw, my suggestion is to try to reindex your objects first :

Indexing

To open indexing configuration, select Indexing Insight.

• Re-index
  A re-index means that all objects will stay in the index during the process, and Insight will index them again. You can search for objects during the process.
  
  

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi Fabio, we are sure because we try with another object without inbound references and it is delete without problems

we try to put directly the api users as Object Type Manager but the same error. 

we delete directly in the interface and it delete even if it has inbound  references but via API we cant

it's strange because, usually, REST API allows you to perfom the same operation as per user interaction with the UI (with the same checks)

Thanks Fabio, now we re check the user role and has less privileges
