Deleting services

When a service is no longer required, you can delete the service.

To delete a service, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Management tab.
2. To see a list of all services, click the Services tab. The Services page opens showing all the services.
3. Select the service that you want to delete.
4. Click Other Actions > Delete Service. The Delete Service window opens.
5. You receive one of the following responses:
   • If the service you are deleting shares configuration objects with other services, the configuration objects are not deleted because they are required by the other service or services.
   • If you are deleting a service that has configuration objects that are not shared with other services, a list is shown of objects that are referenced by the service that is being deleted, but are not referenced by any other service. By default, no objects are selected and only the service and none of its referenced objects are deleted. Any configuration objects that are not selected are not deleted. Objects that are used by another service are not shown in the list and cannot be deleted unless you delete that service too.

     If you want to delete any configuration objects, in the window, select the relevant check boxes. You can select all of the configuration objects by selecting the check box in the Header row.

     Note: References that you created by using custom style sheets are not detected. Therefore, if you used a custom style sheet, you must check whether removing an object is likely to break that custom style sheet.
6. Click Delete.
