Each assocation (source or target) is deleted explicitly by ID before the node is physically deleted. There is no longer an update to mark a node as deleted. The row is physically removed and a new row is created as a marker. Therefore, the DB will not allow dangling associations and if it says there are 10 associations then there are still 10.

Fixed for 4.1.1.

Upgrade to the lovely new 4.2.c and you will get the fix.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the information. I now know where my problem stays. I can get all related nodes by using nodeService.getTargetAssocs even those ones associated to nodes like "archive://SpaceStore/***". Is there a method to get only live nodes like "workspace://SpaceStore/***"?

Best Regards,
Alex

I have added a BeforeMethodAdivce on nodeService.deleteNode. I broke associations manually before the node was physically removed. Now everything goes well. Thanks.
