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
target 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
is a stand-alone application server, also start the administrative
agent.
About this task
You can use the administrative console
of the job manager
or the deployment manager to delete an application server from one
or more managed targets. From the console, choose the Delete
application server job, specify server and job options,
review the summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using a console,
you can run the deleteApplicationServer job script in the AdministrativeJobs
command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
