Deleting Publishable Document Types
Before you delete a publishable document type, keep the following in mind:
*When you delete a publishable document type that has a corresponding provider definition, you can choose whether to delete both the publishable document type and the provider definition or just the publishable document type.
*If you intend to delete the associated provider definition as well, make sure that the connection alias to the messaging provider is enabled.
*If the Integration Server is a member of a cluster or the client prefix for the associated messaging connection alias is shared, you can delete the publishable document type but you cannot remove the associated provider definition.
*You can only delete a publishable document type if you own the lock (or have the publishable document type checked out) and have Write permission to it.
*If you delete a Broker document type that is required by another Integration Server, you can synchronize (push) the document type to the Broker from that Integration Server. If you delete a Broker document type that is required by a non-IS Broker client, you can recover the document from the Broker .adl backup file. See Administering webMethods Broker for information about importing .adl files.
*To delete a publishable document type
1. In Package Navigator view, select the document type you want to delete.
2. Select Edit > Delete.
If you enabled the deleting safeguards in the Preferences dialog box, and the publishable document type is used by other elements, Designer displays a dialog box listing all dependent elements, including triggers and flow services. For information about enabling safeguards to check for dependents when deleting an element, see Configuring Dependency Checking for Elements.
If the document type is associated with a provider definition, Designer displays the Delete Confirmation dialog box.
3. If you would like to delete the associated provider definition from the messaging provider, select the Delete associated provider definition check box.
4. Do one of the following:
Click...
To...
Continue
Delete the element from the Integration Server. References in dependent elements remain.
Cancel
Cancel the operation and preserve the element in the Integration Server.
OK
Delete the element from Integration Server. (The OK button only appears if the publishable document type did not have any dependents.)
