Delete an Asset

CA APM lets you delete an asset from the repository. In most cases, do not delete an asset because the audit history for the asset is permanently removed. For example, legal, cost, relationship, and other information related to the asset is also deleted. Instead, update the asset status to indicate that the asset has been disposed of, or is obsolete. Using this approach, you retain the information about the asset in your repository for future reporting and reference purposes.

Note: If the CI check box is selected (on the Asset Details page) for the asset you want to delete, you cannot delete the asset from CA APM. The selected CI check box indicates that CA Service Desk Manager manages the asset. You must delete the asset from CA Service Desk Manager.
