Deleting policy sets using wsadmin scripting

Use the Jython or Jacl scripting language to delete policy sets from your configuration with the wsadmin tool. You must remove all policy set attachments before removing the policy set.

Before you begin

To complete this task, you must use the Administrator role with cell-wide access when administrative security is enabled.

Before deleting a policy set, you must delete or transfer all attachments to applications. You cannot delete default policy sets.
