Deleting a profile

If your business needs change, you can delete a profile from the profiles that you created.

Complete the following steps to delete a profile.

1. Stop all server instances in the profile that you plan to delete.

2. Run the following task:

   • AIX® and Linux™: ./manageprofiles.sh -delete -profileName profilename from the AppServer_root/bin directory, where profilename is the name of the profile that you are deleting.
   • Windows™: manageprofiles.bat -delete -profileName profilename from the AppServer_root\bin directory, where profilename is the name of the profile that you are deleting.

   Note

   Deleting a profile takes several minutes to complete.

3. Delete the profile directory because it contains files that the manageprofiles command cannot delete, such as extraneous log files.
