Using Tridion Object Model API, what is the correct way to remove Component Process from a Tridion schema?
Assigning Schema.ComponentProcess to Nothing does not seem to be working. VBScript sample code is included below:
testSchemaID = "tcm:3-123456-8"
Dim oSchema
Set oSchema = TDSE.getObject(testSchemaID, 2)
oSchema.ComponentProcess = Nothing
oSchema.Save(True)
Set oSchema = Nothing
You can try using combination of C# and CoreService to remove the associated component process from the schema. The following code should help you get started:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SessionAwareCoreServiceClient client = new SessionAwareCoreServiceClient("netTcp_2013");
var schema = client.Read("tcm:64-159-8", new ReadOptions()) as SchemaData;
Console.WriteLine("Before: {0}",schema.ComponentProcess.Title);
schema.ComponentProcess = new LinkToProcessDefinitionData();
schema = client.Update(schema, new ReadOptions()) as SchemaData;
Console.WriteLine("After: {0}",schema.ComponentProcess.Title);
Console.ReadKey();
}
As others have noted, the core service API is now preferred over the old TOM, however I think this is incidental to the problem at hand.
You have not specified what isn't working. The code looks alright to me, although it's been a while, and I don't have your scenario set up to test. Do you have error messages? If so - please update your question.
My first suspicion is that it may not be possible to remove the association while there are active activity instances based on this process. If this is the case, you might find it interesting to review this old blog post where I demonstrate automatically finishing workflow processes.
