Deleting an integration project

An integration project is the container in which you create and maintain all the resources associated with one or more message flows. These resources are created as files, and are displayed in the project in the Application Development view. If you do not want to retain an integration project, you can delete it.

Before you begin

About this task

When you delete an integration project in the IBM® Integration Toolkit, you can choose to delete the project and its resources. If you are using a shared repository, the repository might retain a copy of a deleted resource.

To delete an integration project, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the Application Development view, select the integration project that you want to delete, and click Edit > Delete.
    You can also press Delete, or right-click the project and click Delete.
  2. To delete the contents of the integration project, select Also delete contents under directory_name.

    If you choose not to delete the contents of the integration project directory, all the files and the directory itself are retained. If you later create another project with the same name, and specify the same location for the project (or accept the location as the default value), you can access the files previously created.

    If you choose to delete all the contents, all files and the directory itself are deleted.

  3. Click Yes to delete the integration project and selected resources.

Results

If you maintain resources in a shared repository, a copy is retained in that repository. You can follow the instructions provided by the repository supplier to retrieve the resource, if required.

If you are using the local drive or a shared drive to store your resources, no copy of the resource is retained. Be careful to select the correct resource when you complete this task.
