Deleting Virtual Services
If you are not the owner of a Virtual Service asset, you cannot delete the Virtual Service unless you have Full permission on the Virtual Service (granted though either a role-based permission or instance-level permission).
The following general guidelines apply when deleting a (Virtual) Service asset in CentraSite Control:
A Virtual Service can only be deleted if it is not the target of an association from another registry object.
When you delete a Virtual Service,
CentraSite removes the catalog entry for the Virtual Service (that is, it removes the instance of the Virtual Service from
CentraSite's object database). Also note that:
The performance metrics and event information of the Virtual Service are also deleted.
Note:
When you delete the Virtual Service, this information is deleted by the built-in action Delete RuntimeEvents and RuntimeMetrics of Service, which is installed with CentraSite.
When you delete a composite Virtual Service, all of its nonshared components are also deleted.
Deleting a Virtual Service will
not remove:
Other assets to which the Virtual Service refers (unless the reference is to an asset that is a nonshared component of the Virtual Service you are deleting). For example, if you are deleting a Virtual Service which has 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 Virtual Service.
Earlier versions of the Virtual Service. Only the latest version of the Virtual Service can be deleted; to remove earlier versions, they must be purged.
You cannot delete a Virtual Service if:
The Virtual Service is in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval).
Any user in your
CentraSite registry is currently modifying the Virtual Service.
