Deleting replication domains

You can manually create a replication domain, or have a replication domain automatically generated when you create a cluster. When you no longer need a previously defined replication domain, you can use either the wsadmin AdminConfig delete command or the administrative console to delete the replication domain from your application server environment. Deleting a cluster does not automatically delete a replication domain that is associated with that cluster.

Before you begin

  • Verify that none of the applications that you are running require the replication domain you are deleting.
  • Verify that neither dynamic caching nor the session manager are configured to use the replication domain that you are deleting. Deleting a replication domain that either dynamic caching or the session manager has been configured to use might cause processing errors.

About this task

Perform the following steps if you want to use the administrative console to delete a replication domain.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console. click Environment > > Replication domains.
  2. Select the replication domain that you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Select Synchronize changes with Nodes, and then click Save to save your workspace changes to the master configuration.

Results

Data is not replicated amongst the application servers that were part of the configured replication domain that you deleted, and all session data that is associated with the deleted replication domain is deleted.
