Deleting Elements
When deleting elements, keep the following points in mind:
You can delete any elements to which you have Write access for the element and its parent folder. When deleting a folder, you must also have Write access to all elements within the folder. For more information about Write access and ACLs assigned to elements, see
Assigning and Managing Permissions
for ElementsWhen you delete a folder or the last Java service in a folder,
Designer also deletes the shared source for that folder. If you cancel the delete action, no elements (including non-Java service elements) are deleted.
You can only delete an adapter notification’s publishable document type if you delete its associated adapter notification.
When you delete an adapter notification,
Designer also deletes its associated publishable document type and prompts you to indicate whether to delete the associated
Broker document type.
You cannot delete a listener or connection element.
If you delete a dictionary, the dependency manager will list all flat file schemas and dictionaries that will be impacted by the deletion, and prompts you to confirm the deletion. However, it does not identify the names of the records, fields, or composites that reference the dictionary; that is your responsibility.
If you delete a publishable document type,
Designer prompts you to keep or delete the associated
Broker document type.
If you delete a publishable document type and
Broker document type associated with a trigger or a flow service, you might break any integration solution that uses the document type.
If you delete the
Broker document type, you might negatively impact any publishable document types created from that
Broker document type on other
Integration Servers. When the developers synchronize document types with
Broker and they choose to
Pull from Broker, publishable document types associated with the deleted
Broker document type will be removed from their
Integration Servers.
To delete elements
1. In Package Navigator view, select the elements that you want to delete.
2. Select Edit > Delete.
3. If you have selected the Confirm before deleting check box in the Preferences dialog box for Package Navigator view, do the following:
a. If any elements on Integration Server have unsaved changes, Designer prompts you to save changes. Select the elements whose changes you want to save and click OK.
b. If other elements are dependents of the elements you are deleting, Designer indicates which items will be affected by the deletion.
c. If you are deleting a publishable document type, Designer prompts you to keep or delete the associated Broker document type. Do one of the following:
To... | Do this... |
Delete the publishable document type on Integration Server but leave the corresponding document type on the Broker | Clear the Delete associated Broker document type on the Broker check box. |
Delete the publishable document type on Integration Server and the corresponding document type on the Broker | Select the Delete associated Broker document type on the Broker check box. |
d. Click Continue to delete the selected elements.
4. If you did not select the Confirm before deleting preference and one of the elements that you want to delete is a publishable document type, Designer prompts you to keep or delete the associated Broker document type. Select the Delete associated Broker document type on the Broker check box, if you want to delete the publishable document type and the Broker document type. Click OK.
