Undeploying Applications

You can undeploy a deployed application.

Click for the application you want to undeploy and select Undeploy. Once the application has undeployed, it is no longer displayed in All Deployments.

An application may fail to undeploy because there are outstanding process instances or work items. If after clicking Undeploy, the application goes into an Undeploying state and does not change, follow the steps given below:

  1. Click for the application, which is now in Undeploying state, and click Details.
  2. A small pane appears to the right and shows the list of active instances that are preventing the undeployment of the application.
  3. Click Process Instances. The name of the process instance is displayed in the pane with on the right.
  4. Click for process instances.
  5. Click Purge in the dropdown.
  6. Click Yes, purge in the Purge Instances confirmation dialog.
  7. Click for the application, which is now in Undeploying state, and select Undeploy.
  8. Click Yes, undeploy in the Warning dialog box.
    Note: A data application remains in the undeploying state if there are any active cases associated with it. These active cases can be viewed and purged from application details.

Once the application has undeployed, it is no longer displayed in All Deployments.

Alternatively, you can cancel, or complete, any outstanding process instances or work items for that application. In this situation, the Deployment Manager displays the number of active instances, as well as the application type. Within a few minutes of the cancel or complete operation of all the active instances, the Deployment Manager will complete the undeployment.

Note: Projects need to be undeployed in order of dependency. For example, you must undeploy a process project before the business or case data project that references it.
