Remove a published store

Once you publish a store using WebSphere Commerce, store assets and database objects are saved within the WebSphere Commerce Server. If you want to remove the store, ensure it is completely cleaned from the WebSphere Commerce system. You may want to remove a store, if you had problems publishing a store, or have a corrupted store. Once the store has been cleaned form the WebSphere Commerce system, you can republish it.

1. Mark the store for deletion using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

2. Delete WebSphere Commerce objects from the database, using the Database Cleanup utility:

   1. Delete store objects

   2. Delete contract objects

   3. Delete fulfillment center objects (a default fulfillment center is assigned to al stores, so fulfillment center objects must be removed before republishing the store)

3. Republish the store and test that it works. Use the same store name that you used previously.
