Deleting Assets
Pre-requisites:
To delete all the assets in CentraSite through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
If you are migrating a set of assets from CentraSite version 8.2 to version 9.7 or above, the promoted assets in the target organization cannot be deleted.
CentraSite provides a Java tool named CentraSiteDeleteAllAsset.jar for this purpose. This tool will delete all the assets from an organization in CentraSite.
Note: Before you run the tool, if there are assets of the Virtual Service type for deletion, make sure these assets are unpublished from the appropriate gateways.
To delete assets
Run the Java tool CentraSiteDeleteAllAsset.jar. The syntax is of the format: C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteToolbox.cmd CentraSiteDeleteAllAsset.jar <arg1_CentraSite_DB_URL> <arg2_Administrator_User> <arg3_Administrator_User_Password> <arg4_AssetType> <arg5_OrganizationName> <arg6_OwnerName>
The input parameters are:

<arg2_Administrator_User> | The user ID of a registered CentraSite user who has the CentraSite Administrator role. For example, Administrator. |
