Data Model Evolution

You may have created your own customized data models (specialized types, customer extensions, deployment extensions) and you may want to suppress extensions, or change attributes.

The following operations are not recommended:

  • Changing the data model controlled by DS apps. If you change this data model, you may create inconsistent data that may even break the apps.
  • Changing the ownership of the data (person, organization, collaborative space) or the policy that controls the data. It can break some consistency.

Warning: Changing the type of an object is not supported as you cannot master all the places where the type of an object may have been stored by different apps.
