CentraSite User's Guide : Asset Management : Managing Assets through CentraSite Business UI : REST Service Management : Deleting REST Services
Deleting REST Services
If you are not the owner of a REST Service asset, you cannot delete the REST Service unless you have Full permission on the REST Service (granted though either a role-based permission or instance-level permission).
The following general guidelines apply when deleting a REST Service in CentraSite Business UI:
*Deleting a REST Service permanently removes it from the catalog.
*A REST Service can only be deleted if it is not the target of an association from another registry object.
*When you delete a REST Service, CentraSite removes the catalog entry for the REST Service (that is, it removes the instance of the REST Service from CentraSite's object database). Also note that:
*The performance metrics and event information of the REST Service are also deleted.
Note:  
When you delete the REST 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 REST Service, all of its nonshared components are also deleted.
*Deleting a REST Service will not remove:
*Other assets to which the REST Service refers (unless the reference is to an asset that is a nonshared component of the REST Service you are deleting). For example, if you are deleting is a REST Service with 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 REST Service.
*Earlier versions of the REST Service. Only the latest version of the REST Service can be deleted; to remove earlier versions, they must be purged.
*You cannot delete a REST Service if:
*The REST Service is in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval).
*Any user in your CentraSite registry is currently modifying the REST Service.
To delete REST Service assets
1. In CentraSite Business UI, access the Advanced Search panel in one of the following ways:

*Click the Search icon next to the Scope list. The default search scope is Assets.
This displays a list of assets in the Search Results page.

4. In the Choose Asset Types dialog box, select the Assets option button, and follow these steps:

A list of defined asset types in CentraSite is displayed.
b. In the displayed list of asset types, select REST Service.
c. Click OK.
A list of defined REST Services is displayed in the Search Results page.
5. Select one or multiple REST Services you want to delete.
6. On the actions bar of the Search Results page, click Delete.
You can also delete a single REST Service from the actions bar of its details page.
7. When you are prompted to confirm the delete operation, click Yes.
Note:  
If you have selected a set of REST Services, where one or multiple REST Services are in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval), CentraSite ignores the pending list of REST Services, and deletes any remaining REST Services for which you have the required permission.
