Scenarios for Removing Elements
The following provide some scenarios for the removal of topology elements.
• A software service that was previously discovered is no longer of
concern or interest.
• Change the application signature for the software service.
• Right click on the service and select Delete.
• Use DiscoverAll and verify that the software service object is not re-
detected.
• A system is removed from Availability Manager.
• All auto-detected software service objects and their related
topology are removed.
• A system is in the topology of Availability Manager, but it is no longer
of interest in Application Connectivity Monitor. All software services
need to be removed from it.
• Change the associated application signatures to exclude the system
from all future discoveries.
• Right click each software service object for the system and select
Delete.
When you change the Application Class parameter of an application
signature, and invoke DiscoverAll, and a new application is discovered by
that signature, the originally discovered application will be removed and the
newly discovered application will be created.
For example: A host, flyer, hosts a WebServer application that was
discovered by the "AS_WebServer" application signature on port 80.
If you change the signature to specify a different application class (for
instance, TelnetService) and then invoke DiscoverAll, the original WebServer
application will be removed and a new Software Service of the class
TelnetService is created.
This occurs only if, after changing the signature, a new application is
discovered. If you change the signature and a new application is not
discovered by DiscoverAll, the originally discovered application remains in
the topology.
