Deleting Design/Change-Time Policies

CentraSite User's Guide : Policy Management : Managing Design and Change-Time Policies through CentraSite Control : Deleting Design/Change-Time Policies

Pre-requisites:

To delete a design/change-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. This policy does not allow you to delete a policy unless the policy is in the New or Retired state.

In addition to being in the New 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.

This displays a list of defined design-time and change-time policies in the Design/Change-Time Policies page.

2. If the policy is active, deactivate it.

You cannot delete an active policy.

3. Right-click a policy you want to delete, and click Delete.

Important:

If you have selected several policies where one or more of them are predefined policies. For example, collector and handler policies. You can use the Delete button to delete the policies. However, as you are not allowed to delete predefined policies, only policies you have permission for is deleted. The same applies to any other policies for which you do not have the required permission.
