Undeploying a snapshot on a Process Center server

If a process application snapshot contains Advanced Integration Services (for example, SCA modules or BPEL processes), you can use the Process Center console to undeploy a snapshot from the Process Center server.

Before you begin

Deactivate the snapshot before you undeploy it. For more information, see "Deactivating snapshots on a Process Center server" in the related links section of this topic.

About this task

When you activate a snapshot on the on a Process Center server, it is considered deployed on that server. In order to remove the Advanced Integration Services artifacts and the associated business level application (BLA) from the Process Center server, you must undeploy the snapshot.

Attention: To deploy a snapshot to a server, see Deploying snapshots to a process server.

If the process application uses BPEL processes, the associated process instance data is cleaned up from the Business Process Choreographer database before the snapshot is undeployed.

Important: If you used the Process Center console to launch the Process Admin Console before you undeploy the snapshot, it is possible that the following steps might undeploy the snapshot from both the Process Center server and the process server.

Procedure

  1. From the Process Center console, select the process application, then click the Snapshots tab.
  2. Find the snapshot you want to undeploy, and then click Undeploy from its pop-up menu (the downward arrow icon next to a snapshot opens a list of possible actions for the snapshot).
  3. Click OK.

What to do next

If you want to use the snapshot, perform a playback in the Process Designer or deploy the snapshot from IBM® Integration Designer.
