Undeploying snapshots from a process server

If an installed process application snapshot contains Advanced Integration Services artifacts (for example, SCA modules or BPEL processes), you can use the Process Admin Console to undeploy it from the process server.

You must deactivate and stop a snapshot before you can undeploy it.

You must use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to manually stop a process or task template. From the console, click Applications > SCA modules > moduleName. Click either Business processes or Human tasks, select the process or task template, and stop it.

When you undeploy a snapshot from the process server, the corresponding business level application and any Advanced Integration Service artifacts are removed from the process server. The process application and the associated artifacts, however, remain in the repository. In addition, this action does not affect any snapshots currently deployed on the Process Center server.


Procedure

  1. From the Process Admin Console Installed Apps page, select the installed snapshot.

  2. If you have not deactivated the snapshot, deactivate it now. See Deactivating and stopping installed process applications.

  3. Click Undeploy Application in the Process Admin Console.

  4. Click OK to complete the uninstallation.


Results

After you undeploy a snapshot, it remains in the repository in an inactive state.

If you undeploy a snapshot from Process Server, the snapshot is still listed in the Installed Apps tab of the Process Admin Console. Similarly, in the Snapshots tab of Process Center, the snapshot is still listed, but it displays a Process Server installation status of Currently Installed because the content of the snapshot still exists in the Process Server repository. To delete the snapshot content on Process Server, run the BPMDeleteSnapshot command.

If you want to reinstall the snapshot, you must activate it.
