Deleting services

Delete service instances when necessary. For example, you might delete a service instance for an obsolete application.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

Before you can delete a service in IBM Verify Identity Governance, a service instance must exist.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Services.
    The Select a Service page is displayed.
  2. On the Select a Service page, complete these steps:
    1. Type information about the service in the Search information field.
    2. In the Search by field, specify whether to search against services or business units.
    3. Select a service type from the Search type list.
    4. Select a status from the Status list, and then click Search.
      A list of services that matches the search criteria is displayed.
      If the table contains multiple pages, you can:
      • Click the arrow to go to the next page.
      • Type the number of the page that you want to view and click Go.
  3. In the Services table, select the check box next to the service that you want to remove, and then click Delete.
    Selecting the check box at the top of this column selects all service instances.
    A confirmation page is displayed.
  4. On the Confirm page, click Delete to remove the selected service instance, or click Cancel.
    The services are removed automatically from all provisioning policies, identity policies, password policies, adoption policies, and recertification policies that currently reference them. If all services referenced by a policy are deleted by this operation, the entire policy is also deleted. All accounts that are related to that service are also deleted from IVIG. However, they are not de-provisioned from the managed resource.

Results

A message indicates that you successfully deleted the service instance.

What to do next
