problem in deleting BT
Hi comunity,
i'm a begginer in the Dynatrace use, so i've a very silly question but I can't manage it by myself (I also tried to search in the community but I didn't find anything about it).
I'd like to create some business transaction to monitor my web application, so I began to read the Dynatrace documentation where, at "How to Use Business Transactions since dynaTrace 4.2" chapter, there're some examples for the creation and managing of the BT.
I guess something went wrong, beacuse after creating one BT and had applied some changes to the filter, I can't delete the business transaction anymore.
I attach a pic for further information. bt.png
I'm using dynaTrace v5.6
Thanks in advance

Gabriele,
It looks like Dynatrace thinks the Business Transaction you created is a built-in business transaction, which can't be deleted.
Did you create your BT by clicking on the "Create" button at the bottom of the system profile screen you included above, or did you edit an existing built-in BT?

Hi Graeme,
thanks for your answer. I get the point.
you're right, indeed I didn't use the "create" button but I drilled down from a set of purepaths to the business transaction and then right click on one of those.
After many tries I acted too casually.
So I can assume that the "built-in" are the native metrics for the BT (so it's recommendend to not change them but to create new ones, isn't it?)
Thanks very much,
Regards
Gabriele
Gabriele,
The built-in business transactions are protected because some of the built-in dashboards depend on them - that's all. Other than that, they're not critical to Dynatrace's operation.
Also, if you happen to want to use a modification of one of the built-in business transactions, you can always copy and paste to create a copy, from the same screen. The copy will not be protected in any way.
