    You lose all data stored in this entities. You might experience contraint errors when you delete entities that relate. E.g. if you refer on a form to a linked entity (lookup) you may not delete the linked entity as it appears on a published form. So first delete the lookup from the from, publish it and...
  • Forum Post: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Entity Object Type mismatch between CRMs

    I did not mean to remove any constraints in the database (!) but that contraints might prevent you from deleting entities, therefore you have to choose the right order to delete the entities. If you don't delete the entites from a CRM the objecttypecodes will remain the same, thats why your alternative...

    Don't delete the entities in SQL! Delete it in the customizations tab in CRM. If any constraints are hurt CRM will tell you. Something like: “You cannot delete XXX because there is a published reference on the form of accounts”. Then remove the lookup from this form and try again. Is this what you...
