Deleting Application Assets
If you are not the owner of an Application asset, you cannot delete the Application unless you have Full permission on the Application (granted though either a role-based permission or instance-level permission).
The following general guidelines apply when deleting an Application asset in CentraSite Control:
Deleting an Application asset permanently removes the Application from the catalog.
An Application asset can only be deleted if it is not the target of an association from another registry object.
When you delete an Application asset,
CentraSite removes the catalog entry for the Application (that is, it removes the instance of the Application asset from
CentraSite's object database). Also note that:
The performance metrics and event information of the Application are also deleted.
Note:
When you delete the Application asset, this information is deleted by the built-in action Delete RuntimeEvents and RuntimeMetrics of Service, which is installed with CentraSite.
Deleting an Application asset will
not remove:
Other assets to which the Application asset refers (unless the reference is to an asset that is a nonshared component of the asset you are deleting). For example, if you are deleting is an Application asset with a Consumes or Consumed By relationship with other services in the registry, the related services will not be deleted.
Supporting documents that are attached to the Application asset.
Earlier versions of the Application asset. Only the latest version of an asset can be deleted; to remove earlier versions, they must be purged.
You cannot delete an Application asset if:
The Application is in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval).
Any user in your
CentraSite registry is currently modifying the Application.
To delete Application assets
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.
2. In the displayed list of asset types, select Application.
The Application assets (for which you have the View permission) are displayed in the Assets pane.
3. Right-click a Application you want to delete, and then click Delete.
You can also select multiple Applications, click the Actions menu, and click Delete.
4. Click OK in the confirmation dialog box.
Note:
If you have selected a set of Applications, where one or multiple Applications are in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval), CentraSite ignores the pending list of Applications, and deletes any remaining Applications for which you have the required permission.
