Deleting an application

You can only delete an application that you created or duplicated in the Application Designer. You must use a database editor (for example, SQL Plus) to delete an application.

Before you begin

You must shut down the application server before you delete an application. If you delete an application, you do not remove any custom tables, fields, or domains that you created to support the application.

Procedure

  1. Login to a database editor as an administrator.
  2. Enter the following commands, and replace the variable <APPLICATION NAME> with the name of the application you want to delete. Enter the application name in all uppercase. For example, if the name of the application you want to delete is Test, replace APPLICATION NAME with TEST in all the commands.
    1. delete from maxapps where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    2. delete from maxpresentation where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    3. delete from sigoption where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    4. delete from applicationauth where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    5. delete from maxlabels where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    6. delete from maxmenu where app='<APPLICATION NAME>' and menutype !='MODULE';
    7. delete from maxmenu where where elementtype='APP' and keyvalue='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    8. delete from appdoctype where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
    9. delete from sigoptflag where app='<APPLICATION NAME>';
  3. Logout of the database editor.
