Deleting an installed edition
After multiple successive editions of an application are deployed and rolled out, which is not unusual in the life span of many production applications, you might have a number of editions stored in your repository that are no longer needed. You can delete an active edition without performing a rollout to a new edition.
Before you begin
- You must have an installed, active edition.
- You must have a configurator or administrator administrative role.
About this task
An edition can exist in one of three states. Therefore,
the method for deleting or uninstalling an edition varies slightly
based on its current state.
- Inactive: The edition is neither assigned for use in any deployment target, nor the default. You can remove an inactive edition at any time.
- Active: The edition is currently assigned for use in one or more deployment targets. Use caution when you delete an active edition, especially if the edition is started. Stop the edition first, remove any routing rules that reference the edition, deactivate it, and you can then remove or uninstall the edition. After you delete an active edition, you must update the routing rules, and click Apply and Save regardless of what item is displayed in the list.
- Validate: The edition is currently assigned for use in the cloned deployment targets. For more information about removing an application in validation mode, read about canceling an application validation.
