Deleting Assets
Pre-requisites:
To delete all the assets in CentraSite through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
If you are migrating a set of assets from CentraSite version 8.2 to version 9.7 or above, the promoted assets in the target organization cannot be deleted.
CentraSite provides a Java tool named CentraSiteDeleteAllAsset.jar for this purpose. This tool will delete all the assets from an organization in CentraSite.
Note:
Before you run the tool, if there are assets of the Virtual Service type for deletion, make sure these assets are unpublished from the appropriate gateways.
