Delete policy sets using the administrative console
We can use the administrative console to delete the default policy sets or the application specific policy sets that we have created.
If we are deleting an attached policy set, stop all applications and the associated endpoints or operations, then detach and delete the policy set. If the policy set is unattached, then we do not need to detach the policy set before deleting it.
If a application specific policy set is no longer needed, you might choose to delete it. To delete a application specific policy set, use the Application policy set collection panel.
- From the administrative console, click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets.
- Click the box in the Select column next to the policy set to delete.
- Click Delete.
- Verify to delete this policy set.
Results
The selected application specific policy set is deleted from the list of policy sets and is no longer available.
Example
We might decide that the ABC WS-I RSP policy set created did not meet the needs as you had expected and we have already created the DEF WS-I RSP policy set to better meet your needs. You have detached all the applications and endpoints from the ABC WS-I RSP policy set and to delete the policy set. Click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets and find the ABC WS-I RSP policy set in the listing. Select the ABC WS-I RSP policy set and click Delete. Confirm to delete the policy set and it is removed from the listing of policy sets. Restart the applications that you detached the ABC WS-I RSP policy from, and we have successfully deleted the policy set.Alternatively, and depending on the use case, you might want to reassign the attachment to another resource before deleting the policy set. Make a copy of the policy set that you are about to delete, then attach it later to the application or service artifact. See attaching a policy set to a service artifact. We can now delete the policy set.
What to do next
If we have detached and then deleted a policy set from an application, restart all affected applications to pick up this change.
