Deleting Virtual REST Services

CentraSite User's Guide : Runtime Governance : Virtual Service Asset Management : Managing Virtual Service Assets through CentraSite Business UI : Virtual REST Service Management : Deleting Virtual REST Services

If you are not the owner of a Virtual REST Service asset, you cannot delete the Virtual REST Service unless you have Full permission on the Virtual REST 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 REST Service can only be deleted if it is not the target of an association from another registry object.

When you delete a Virtual REST Service, CentraSite removes the catalog entry for the Virtual REST Service (that is, it removes the instance of the Virtual REST Service from CentraSite's object database). Also note that:

The performance metrics and event information of the Virtual REST Service are also deleted.

Note:

When you delete the Virtual 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 Virtual REST Service, all of its nonshared components are also deleted.

Deleting a Virtual REST Service will not remove:

Other assets to which the Virtual REST Service refers (unless the reference is to an asset that is a nonshared component of the Virtual REST Service you are deleting). For example, if you are deleting a Virtual REST 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 REST Service.

Earlier versions of the Virtual REST Service. Only the latest version of the Virtual REST Service can be deleted; to remove earlier versions, they must be purged.

You cannot delete a Virtual REST Service if:

The Virtual REST Service is in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval).

Any user in your CentraSite registry is currently modifying the Virtual REST Service.
