Run the sample

For this sample there is no process application provided. We simply want you to delete a process application that is currently available in your repository. Therefore you can simply move on and delete one of your process applications.

Logon to IBM Process Designer with a user that has admin rights, and open Process Center perspective.

01_ProcessCenterView
 

Select the process application you want to delete (by simply hovering over it):

02_SelectPA

Then click on the process application to open the view presenting its tip and snapshots (if there are any), and click on manage:

03_OpenPASnapshots
 

Then click Archive process application on the right hand site:

04_AchivePA

A message box will inform you about the following: “Archiving a process application removes it from the Process Centerrepository. You cannot edit archived process applications and you must select the Archived filter to view them or restore them to the repository.” Simply click on Archive to complete archiving the process application:

05_DoAchivePA

Return to the process application View in Process Center:

06_BackToPCView
 
Select ‘Archived’ to only list the archived process applications:

07_ViewArchivedPAs
 
Only the process applications that are archived are presented:

08_LookAtArchivedPAs
 
Now select the process application (hover over it with the mouse), and click on it:

09_SelectArchivedPAs
 
You will see an apparently empty screen, however it is not empty, as you can see the process application’s name on the upper left side:

10_DeleteArchivedPAs
 
Now click on Delete Process App on the right hand side.
 
A message box will inform you about the following: “Warning! Deletion of a process application or toolkit is not reversible. Ensure that you have created an export of the Process App or toolkit before you continue with this action. If you do not want to proceed with the deletion at this time, you can cancel it by closing this window.”
 
Now, if you are really sure to delete this process application, hit the Delete button.

11_NowDeleteArchivedPAs
 
The process application was (normally) successfully deleted. You won’t get a success message box or something similar, this time you really have an empty screen. The reason for this is that the filter showing other process applications is set to ‘Archived’. As the deleted process application was the only archived process application, Process Center doesn’t list any other process application. Simply click on ‘All’ to view other available process applications.

12_FinallyDeletedArchivedPAs
 
This is it. You have successfully completed this exercise.

There is much more to explore in IBM Business Process Manager v751.

However – in order to get to lunch (or dinner)   this is the end of the exercise.
