Delete a published store
Once you publish a store using WebSphere Commerce, store assets and database objects are saved within the WebSphere Commerce Server.
To delete the store, ensure it is completely cleaned from the WebSphere Commerce system. You might want to delete a store if you had problems publishing the store, or have a corrupted store. Once the store has been cleaned from the WebSphere Commerce system, you can republish it.
Procedure
- Mark the store for deletion using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator:
- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- From either the Channel, Extended sites, or Supplier menu, click View Stores. The Stores page displays. If you do not see this menu, then the logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact the Site Administrator.
- Select the check box to the left of the store that to delete.
- Click Delete. The page should now display the updated list of stores.
- Delete WebSphere Commerce objects from the database, using the Database Cleanup utility:
- Delete store objects
- Delete contract objects
- Delete fulfillment center objects (a default fulfillment center is assigned to al stores, so fulfillment center objects must be removed before republishing the store)
- Delete the store files from the file system using a partial application update.
- Republish the store and test that it works. Use the same store name that you used previously.
