Uninstalling business process and human task applications, using the administrative console

Why and when to perform this task

To uninstall an enterprise application that contains business processes or human tasks, perform the following actions:

Steps for this task

  1. Stop all process and task templates in the application.

    This action prevents the creation of process and task instances.

    1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications in the administrative console navigation pane.
    2. Select the application that you want to stop.
    3. Under Related Items, click EJB Modules, then select an Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) module. If you have more than one EJB module, select the EJB module that corresponds to the Service Component Architecture (SCA) module that contains the business process or human task. You can find the corresponding EJB module by appending EJB to the SCA module name. For example, if your SCA module was named TestProcess, the EJB module is TestProcessEJB.jar.
    4. Under Additional Properties, click Business Processes or Human Tasks, or both, as appropriate.
    5. Select all process and task templates by clicking the appropriate check box.
    6. Click Stop.

    Repeat this step for all EJB modules that contain business process templates or human task templates.

  2. Verify that the database, at least one application server for each cluster, and the stand-alone server where the application is deployed are running.

    In a Network Deployment (ND) environment, the deployment manager, all ND-managed stand-alone application servers, and at least one application server must be running for each cluster where the application is installed.

  3. Verify that no process instances or task instances are running nor that any are in end states with the autoDelete flag set to false.

    If necessary, an administrator can use Business Process Choreographer Explorer to delete any process or task instances.

  4. Stop and uninstall the application:
    1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications in the administrative console navigation pane.
    2. Select the application that you want to uninstall and click Stop.

      This step fails if any process instances or task instances still exist in the application.

    3. Select again the application that you want to uninstall, and click Uninstall.
    4. Click Save to save your changes.

Result

The application is uninstalled.
