Undeploying Archives
Use
When you no longer need a component, you can undeploy it.
If you do not want to use it now, but plan to use it later, you can simply stop it as described in Managing Deployed Archives.
Prerequisites
Open the Undeploy View from Windows → Show View → Other →Deploy View → Undeploy View.
Choose 
with the quick info text Refresh to display an up-to-date list of the deployed
archives.
Procedure
...
1. Open the Undeploy View tab
2. Set:
○ An undeployment strategy
■
If depending
stop
If there are components that depend on the software component that has to be
undeployed and these are not part of the list of components that have to be
undeployed, the undeployment process will stop. The dependent components have
to be undeployed for the undeployment to be successful.
■
Undeploy
depending
All deployed components that depend on the component that has to be undeployed
will be undeployed too.
Please use this strategy with caution. If there is a large dependency chain, you may undeploy applications you did not intend to undeploy.
○ An error strategy
■
Stop when the first
error occurs
The whole undeployment process will fail if one of the undeployments fails.
This is the default error behavior.
■
Skip undeployment of archives depending on the
erroneous undeployment
This option is most suitable when undeploying Java EE archives since all your
archives will be undeployed. If the undeployment of some of the components
fails, all depending components are skipped and not undeployed. The process
continues with the next component in the undeployment queue that does not
depend on the failed component.
3. Select the archives you want to undeploy from the tree. You can make multiple selections.
4.
Choose 
with the quick info text Add Items to undeploy list. This will copy the names to the
table on the right.
If you want to
remove an archive from the list, select its name and click the 
button
with the quick info text Remove
selected items from undeploy list.
5. Select the names of the archive you want to undeploy from the list on the right.
6.
Choose 
with the quick info text Undeploy. A message is displayed at the end of the process.
You can check the undpeloyment status of the component, by clicking on the button with the quick info text Show Undeployment status.
Result
You have undeployed the component. For more information, see the log messages in the Deploy View Console.
