Deleting Design Time Policies
Pre-requisites:
To delete a design time policy in CentraSite, you must have one of the following permissions:
To delete a organization-specific policy, you must have the Manage Design/Change-Time Policies permission for the organization specified in the scope of the original policy. For example, if the original policy is scoped for organization ABC, you are not permitted to delete that policy unless you have permission to manage design/change-time policies for organization ABC.
To delete a system-wide policy, you must have the Manage System-Wide Design/Change-Time Policies permission.
Important: If you belong to a role that includes the Manage System-Wide Design/Change-Time Policies permission, you have the ability to delete CentraSite's predefined policies. However, you should not do this. These policies perform critical functions within the registry and must not be deleted except under the direction of a technical representative from Software AG.
You delete a policy to remove it from CentraSite permanently.
CentraSite is installed with a system-wide policy called Check State Validation Policy for Policy. As per this policy, you cannot delete any policy that is in the Productive state. For other states which includes New, Suspended, and Retired states, you can delete the policy.
In addition to being in the New, Suspended, or Retired state, the following conditions must also be met in order to delete a policy:
The policy must not be in-progress.
The policy must be inactive.
You must have Full permission on the policy.
