Removing Dashboards

The BL tester basically just lets you call the various methods on a given
Business Object directly. I'd give it a shot as it's very easy to do.
(Probably 5-10 minutes at the most if you've never used it before) Though
honestly, if the UI isn't letting you delete it, I tend to doubt going
straight to the BO would help.

Vantage 8.03.409C

Have an where I created a dashboard and everything was good to go. But, when I logged out of Vantage and then back in I could not get the dashboard to open. I am speaking when I am in developer mode.

Here is what took place. Created my dashboard with everything to my likeing. Had to leave. Came back and opened the dashboard in developer mode. I could see my dashboard in the search list, however when I select it everything seems to be loading but my dashboard is not there. I can't delete it either because it doesn't give me the option to delete dashboard definitions.

I am trying to delete everything and start over. I am looking for another way to delete the dashboard. Any thoughts?

Jeff
I've seen that happen once or twice back in 8.xx. I've had something similar
happen with BAQs.

Unfortunately I never found a solution and Epicor could never replicate the
issue. You may need to just scrap it and create a new one with a new ID.
Cooner's suggestion should work as well.

Yep. You open it and should have the option to "Delete Dashboard Definition" but it is not available.

Can you explain further listing the contents of DashBdChunk and DashBdDef? What will this tell me?

Thanks.
