Results  
 

The system creates a log in this text area identifying the classes, properties, models, activities, and other rules created. Note any error messages.

 Cleanup  

Click to delete all the generated rules and data objects listed in the Results text box.

NoteBefore using this feature, make sure the RuleSet version containing the rules is not secured. Only the original rules that were generated by the wizard are deleted. Rules that you copied or added are not deleted.

Delete duplicates?

If you run the accelerator more than once with the same base class and metadata source, the accelerator does not overwrite rules that have duplicate names. Select this option before clicking Cleanup if you want the original (duplicate) rules deleted in addition to the ones listed here.
