The system builds JCA application specifications when installing an application that contains services. There are occasions when you must delete these specifications before reinstalling the application.

Before you begin

If you are deleting the specification because of a failed application installation, make sure the module in the Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name matches the name of the module that failed to install. The second part of the JNDI name is the name of the module that implemented the destination. For example in sca/SimpleBOCrsmA/ActivationSpec, SimpleBOCrsmA is the module name.
Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must be logged in as administrator or configurator to perform this task.

About this task
