You can submit the Delete application server job
to remove a server from the flexible management environment. The job
can delete a stand-alone server or a server on a federated node of
a deployment manager.
Before you begin
Each server that you want to delete must be on a managed
node of the job manager.
Start the job manager. If the server
that you want to delete is on a federated node of a deployment manager,
also start the deployment manager and the federated node. If the target
node is a stand-alone application server, also start the administrative
agent.
About this task
You can use the administrative console of the job manager
to delete an application server from one or more managed nodes. From
the job manager console, choose the Delete application
server job, specify server and job options, review the
summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using the job manager
console, you can run the deleteApplicationServer job script in the
AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types
topic.
