Deleting policy sets using the administrative console

You can use the administrative console to delete custom policy sets that you have created. You cannot delete the provided default policy sets.

Before you begin

If you are deleting an attached policy set, stop all applications that are attached to endpoints or operations before detaching and then deleting the policy set. If the policy set is unattached, then you do not need to detach the policy set before deleting it.

About this task

If a custom policy set is no longer needed, you might choose to delete it. To delete a custom policy set, use the Application Policy Sets collection panel.

Procedure

  1. From the administrative console, click Services > Policy Sets > Application Policy Sets.
  2. Click the box in the Select column next to the policy set that you want to delete. You can only delete custom policy sets. You cannot delete default policy sets.
  3. Click the Delete button.
  4. Verify that you want to delete this policy set.

Results

The selected custom policy set is deleted from the list of policy sets and is no longer available.

Example

You might decide that the ABC RAMP policy set you created did not meet your needs as you had expected and you have already created the DEF RAMP policy set to better meet your needs. You have detached all the applications and endpoints from the ABC RAMP policy set and you want to delete the policy set. Click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets and find the ABC RAMP policy set in the listing. Select the ABC RAMP policy set and click Delete. Confirm that you want to delete the policy set and it is removed from the listing of policy sets. Restart the applications that you detached the ABC RAMP policy from, and you have successfully deleted the policy set.

Alternatively, and depending on your use case, you might want to reassign the attachment to another service artifact before deleting the policy set. Make a copy of the policy set that you are about to delete, then attach it later to your application or service artifact. See attaching a policy set to a service artifact. You can now delete the policy set.

What to do next

If you have detached and then deleted a policy set from an application, restart all affected applications to pick up this change. If the deleted policy set was unattached, then no further action is required.
