Delete Configurations

You can delete configurations that you have previously created if they become unnecessary.

You cannot delete configurations with a status of Build started, Validating, or Implementing. If a configuration has a task running, stop the task before deleting the configuration.

Note: Deleting a configuration in CA CSM only deletes it from CA CSM. Deleting does not reverse the configuration or change your mainframe environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Configurations tab and select the configurations that you want to delete.
2. Click the Delete link near the top of the right pane.

   A dialog appears confirming that you want to delete this configuration.

3. Click OK in response to the confirmation dialog.

   A dialog that shows the progress of the task opens. When the task completes, you can click Show Results on the Progress tab to close this dialog. The task output browser opens and you can view the action details. Click Close to close the task output browser.

   Note: While a task is in progress, you can perform other work. You can click Hide to exit the dialog and view the task status later on the Tasks tab.

   The configurations are deleted.
