Deleting Services
For information about deleting services, see:
- Deleting Services from SDX Admin
- Deleting Services with Tools Other Than SDX Admin
- Deleting Services from Scopes
NOTE: When a value-added service is removed, it is also removed from any mutex group that specifies the service. For information about mutex groups, see Restricting Simultaneous Activation of Services.
Deleting Services from SDX Admin
For information about deleting entries with SDX Admin, see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 38, Using SDX Admin.
When you attempt to delete a service, SDX Admin issues a warning message if subscribers have active subscriptions to the service. If you have not configured a workflow for the service and you choose to delete the service regardless of these subscriptions, the SAE deactivates all active subscriptions to that service, and SDX Admin deletes the service and the subscriptions. If you have configured a workflow for a service and a subscriber has an active subscription to the service, you must use the appropriate transactions specified by the workflow utility before you can delete the service. For information about workflow, see the SRC Application Library Guide.
Deleting Services with Tools Other Than SDX Admin
To permanently delete a service with an LDAP client other than SDX Admin:
- Remove the service from the directory with the LDAP client.
- For each SAE that connects to this directory, update the services in the directory.
The Configuration window appears.
To make a service unavailable to SRC components such as the SAE, but to leave the service in the directory, set its deleted LDAP attribute to true.
Deleting Services from Scopes
If a scope specifies a service that is defined in o=Services, you can delete the service regardless of whether subscribers have active subscriptions to the service. However, if a scope specifies a service that is not defined in o=Services, SDX Admin issues a warning message if subscribers have active subscriptions to the service. If you then choose to delete the service regardless of these subscriptions, the SAE deactivates all active subscriptions to that service, and SDX Admin deletes the service from the scope.
