Deploying Products › Delete a Deployment

Delete a Deployment

You can delete deployments. You cannot delete deployments in the following situations:

• The deployment is being used by a configuration. If you need to delete a deployment that is being used by configurations, you need to first delete the configurations that are associated with it.
• Another user has started creating a configuration using this deployment and has not advanced to the second step in the Configuration wizard.
• Another user is deploying, cloning, transmitting, deleting, or taking snapshot of the deployment.

A deployment deletion must be confirmed before a deletion starts.

Note: If system information was changed, not all files may be deleted. In this case, you many need to delete these files manually. For example, if an FTP transmission was changed to a Shared DASD Cluster or if the remote credentials are incorrect or changed.

The message log explains which containers, folders, and files were deleted during processing and which ones were not deleted. See how to investigate a failed deployment for details on finding the message log.

Note: Target libraries are never deleted.

The following artifacts are deleted by status:

Under Construction

All applicable database records

Snapshot in Error

All applicable database records

Snapshot Completed

Archive located at Application Root/sdsroot/Dnnnn where nnnn = Deployment ID automatic number. Application Root is defined in settings under mount point management.

All applicable database records.

Same as Snapshot Completed, plus attempts to delete any transmitted snapshots on target systems.

Transmitted

Same as Transmit in Error.

Deploy in Error

Same as Transmitted.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Deployments tab.

   The Deployment page appears.

2. On the right, in the Deployments panel, click one of the status links (Under Construction, Snapshot Completed, Deployed, or Configurable).

   The detailed deployment information appears.

3. Click the deployment name link, select Delete from the Actions drop-down list, and then click OK to confirm.

   The deployment is deleted.

   Note: If you do not have remote credentials for the systems in your deployment that you want to delete, or you do not have default remote credentials defined on the User Settings, Remote Credentials page, the Remote Credentials Properties dialog appears. You are prompted to define remote credentials for the systems.
