Retracting Metadata for IS Assets or TN Document Types at the Asset Level
When you retract metadata by selecting specific assets and then selecting Retract from the context menu, you retract metadata at the asset level. You can retract metadata for individual assets, such as a package, a folder, or an element from CentraSite. You can also retract metadata for TN document types collectively by selecting Trading Networks Document Types.
Note:
You can only retract metadata for IS administrative assets by retracting at the Integration Server level.
*To retract metadata for IS assets or TN document types at the asset level
1. In the Service Development perspective, in Package Navigator view, do the following:
*To retract metadata for a specific asset such as a package, a folder, or an element, select the specific asset.
*To retract published metadata for TN document types, select Trading Networks Document Types.
Note:
When retracting metadata for TN document types, you must retract all published TN document types. That is, it is not possible to retract metadata for specific TN document types.
2. Right-click and select Retract.
Note:
If a CentraSite connection is not yet configured, Designer displays the Preferences window and prompts you to configure a connection. For more information about configuring a connection, see the CentraSite Help.
If none of the assets that you selected was published to CentraSite, Designer displays a message stating that the assets do not exist in CentraSite and cannot be retracted. If you have selected multiple assets and at least one of the assets can be retracted from CentraSite, this message does not appear.
3. In the Asset Retract dialog box, select the assets that you want to retract.
By default, the assets you selected in the Package Navigator view will be marked for retraction from CentraSite. If you right-clicked a package or folder in the Package Navigator view, Designer lists all the published assets in the folder or package and selects them for retraction. You can deselect the assets that you do not want to retract.
*To deselect any of the selected assets, clear the check box next to the asset.
*To deselect all the selected assets, click Deselect All.
*To select an asset, select the check box next to the asset.
*To select all the assets, click Select All.
4. Click OK.
Designer retracts the metadata and displays the progress of the operation in the Metadata Retract Status Job dialog box. To close the Metadata Retract Status Job dialog box, click Cancel. Clicking Cancel does not cancel the operation.
Designer displays a summary of the retraction in the Retracted Metadata dialog box on completing the operation. Click OK to close the dialog box.
