Unloading a business measures model

Unloading a model removes all versions of the model. You need to unload a business measures model only when you no longer want any of the model versions, which means you are not working on the processes of this model any more.

Unloading a business measures model will purge the model from the execution engine as well as delete the model information from the repository database. You can choose to keep the model data for reporting. This will lead only to purge the model from the execution engine and to keep the model's information in the Repository database to allow the model's data to be viewed in the dashboards.

Once a model has been completely unloaded, the database tables that was created for this model and its contents of model execution data will remain without deletion. These database tables should be dropped and the replication artifacts should be removed. It is the responsibility of the database administrator to drop or archive these database tables

Follow these steps to unload (delete) a business measures model that has been previously imported to the WebSphere® Business Monitor.

  1. To access the Business Measures Models cleanup page from theWebSphere Application Server administrative console, go to WebSphere Business Monitor > Server > Business Measures Model > Model Unload.
  2. To select the business measures model that you want to unload, select the check box next to the business measures model name in the Business Measures Models list. You can select only one model at a time.
  3. To delete the selected business measures model, click either Delete or Delete and keep for reporting. If you click Delete and keep for reporting, the information about the selected business measures model is kept in the Repository database for dashboard reporting. The information is deleted only from the execution engine.
  4. Click OK to confirm the deletion, or click Cancel to cancel the deletion. The unload action will remove all versions of the selected business measures model.
  5. If you intend to import again the business measures model that has just been unloaded then you must restart the WebSphere Application Server.
