Deleting Resources

BPM Resources can also be deleted. After deleting a resource, it becomes a candidate resource again; that resource can no longer log into the BPM application.

Note that deleting a resource using the Organization Browser does not remove the resource from the LDAP source, nor from the container; it becomes a candidate resource and deletes any mapping that may have been done for that resource, preventing that user from being able to log into the BPM application.

More than one resource can be deleted at one time.

Note: If the resource you are going to delete is the security subject for one or more active process instances (that is, the resource started the active process instances), the security subject should be replaced using the replaceUser API before deleting the resource. For information about replaceUser, see the TIBCO ActiveMatrix® BPM Developer's Guide.

Procedure

  1. From the Organization Browser, select the LDAP container containing the resource(s) you would like to delete, then click View Resources.
  2. Select the desired resource(s), then click the Delete Resource from BPM button ().
  3. From the Delete Selected Resources dialog, click OK to confirm the deletion.

    The icon to the left of the resource name changes to a icon, indicating that the resource is no longer a BPM resource.

Result

The resource is removed from the database and the resource can no longer log in.

Note: If you delete an LDAP container that contains BPM resources, the resources will be deleted at the same time. For information, see Deleting LDAP Containers.
