v7.7 Bulk Delete Outstanding Objects

Question

Hello all, 
 in v6 there was the stored procedure available that simply deleted your outstanding objects: exec vi_DeleteOutstandingInDB 'ADS' 
 Is there any similar stored procedure available in v7? 
 Unfortounatelly i didnt found anything in the database that sounds like that. 
 I know that you can easily delete the outstanding objects manually in the Manager via "Manage objects markes as outstanding", but I need it somehow in a automatic bulk way. 
 Any Ideas? 
 Thanks, Fatih

Hi Fatih, 
 I can understand your requirement to present the outstanding objects to the customer. But, when you are talking about automated removal of those, I think the outcome of this will be, that no one will care about the outstanding objects. They will be deleted anyways. 
 Nevertheless, the SQL procedures will not be available in version 7. This has to do with the different behavior of the membership handling and due to the application server integration. 
 Please see the attached code-sample, that can be used to remove outstanding objects. The procedure takes a bunch of objects keys and deletes them using the same method as the Manager is using. 
 Public Sub CCC_Entity_DeleteOutStandingFromDB(ObjectKeys As IEnumerable ( Of String ))
 
 Dim f = Connection . SqlFormatter
 
 ' Set connection variable to hint about the management of OutStanding objects 
 Session . Variables . Put( "ManageOutstanding" , True )
 Session . Variables . Put( "NoCollisionTest" , True )
 Session . Variables . Put( "ManageOutstandingOperation" , "DELETE" )
 
 ' Group the ObjectKeys by table 
 Dim keysByTable = ObjectKeys _
 . Select( Function (k) New DbObjectKey (k)) _
 . GroupBy( Function (k) k . Tablename, StringComparer . OrdinalIgnoreCase)
 
 Try 
 
 ' Create a unit of work here to optimize execution 
 Using uow = Session . StartUnitOfWork()
 
 ' Iterate through the keys for each table 
 For Each tableEntry In keysByTable
 ' Partition the workload into junks defined by the limit of the IN clause. 
 For Each part In tableEntry . Partition(f . InClauseLimit)
 
 ' Define the query for the current partition 
 Dim q = Query _
 . From(tableEntry . Key) _
 . Where( Function (t) t . Column( "XObjectKey" ) . In(part)) _
 . SelectNonLobs()
 
 ' Fetch a partition of the data using Bulk collection 
 Dim entities = Session . Source() . GetCollection(q, EntityCollectionLoadType . Bulk)
 
 ' For each entity of the collection 
 For Each e In entities
 
 ' Call the customizer method to delete the outstanding object 
 e . CallMethod( "DeleteOutstanding" )
 
 ' put the entity to save in the unit of work 
 uow . Put(e)
 Next 
 Next 
 Next 
 
 ' Write the changes to the database 
 uow . Commit()
 End Using 
 Finally 
 ' Remove the connection variable that hints about the management of OutStanding objects 
 Session . Variables . Remove( "ManageOutstanding" )
 Session . Variables . Remove( "NoCollisionTest" )
 Session . Variables . Remove( "ManageOutstandingOperation" )
 End Try 
 End Sub
