Deleting software from the catalog
Use the Software Catalog application to delete catalog records from the Maximo® database. Catalog records define software products and components that can be used in software discovery and inventory, and in Maximo applications.
About this task
You cannot delete a software catalog record if it is associated
with:
- A license
- Deployed software
- Conversion variants
You can delete a software catalog record that is linked with an item master record. Deleting a software catalog record does not delete the record for that software from its external source database, such as a discovery tool database or the Knowledge base.
The steps for deleting software from the catalog follow.
Procedure
- On the navigation bar, click .
- On the toolbar, display all records for software products, or use the table filter or Advanced Search to filter the records that you want to display.
- In the Software section, click the record
that you want to delete. The catalog record is displayed on the Software tab.
- Select the Delete action. Note that, for catalog records that meet the deletion criteria, the Delete action is not available from the record list.
- To delete the software catalog record, in the confirmation
window click Yes. You cannot delete a software catalog record that has conversion variants associated with it. The conversion variants must be disassociated first (in the conversion variants list, click the Mark Row for Delete icon in each row, then click Save).
