Deleting custom modules

You can delete custom modules from your Developer Portal if you want to remove them entirely from your site.

Before you begin

Important:
  • You are not permitted to include any IBM® API Connect modules within any custom modules that you create. Also, directly editing any API Connect themes, modules, included modules, or Drupal core on the file system is not permitted or supported, as edited versions of these files are overwritten when a fix pack or iFix is installed.
  • All custom development is your responsibility. Although the use of custom modules and themes is supported, IBM API Connect do not provide support in their development or modification.

Note that any custom modules that you want to delete must be disabled first, including disabling any associated sub-modules. For more information, see Disabling modules. Any modules that are shipped with IBM API Connect cannot be deleted.

You must have administrator access to the Developer Portal to complete this task.
Note: This module synchronizes the credentials of applications that are created by consumers in the Developer Portal site UI. It cannot synchronize the credentials for applications that are created by the provider in the API Manager UI.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Developer Portal as an administrator.
  2. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
  3. In the administrator dashboard, click Extend.
  4. Click the Delete tab.
    The list of disabled custom modules that can be deleted is displayed. Note that any disabled modules that have sub-modules that are still enabled, are prevented from being disabled.
  5. After you have found the module that you want to disable, select the check box next to the module, then click Delete.
  6. At the confirmation dialogue, select Delete to delete the module completely from your site, or select Cancel to cancel the operation.

Results

You successfully deleted the module.
