Delete application servers using the job manager
We can submit the Delete application server job to remove a server from the flexible management environment. The job can delete a stand-alone server or a server on a federated node of a dmgr.
Each server that to delete must be on a managed target of the job manager.
Start the job manager. If the server to delete is on a federated node of a dmgr, also start the dmgr and the federated node. If the target is a stand-alone application server, also start the administrative agent.
We can use the administrative console of the job manager or the dmgr to delete an application server from one or more managed targets. From the console, choose the Delete application server job, specify server and job options, review the summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using a console, you can run the deleteApplicationServer job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.

To see the names of existing servers on the targets, click Find on the Specify job parameters page. On the Find target resources page, specify the targets and click Find. For example, suppose a managed target, nodeA, has a server named server2 to delete. Specify the server name:
server2
- If the target is in a WAS ND cell, specify the node name in the cell from which to delete the server.
You do not have to specify the node name for a base (stand-alone) node. For example, suppose the managed target, nodeA, is a federated node in a WAS ND cell. Specify the node name:
nodeA
