Deleting Adapters
This procedure explains how to delete adapters at the site and organization level.
Deleting an adapter is a permanent deletion. Deleting an adapter also removes all association entries related to the adapter. Adapter associations are listed in the Adapter Associations table. There is no undo once the adapter has been deleted. If you deleted an adapter by mistake, you can add it back by creating a new adapter.
When attempting to delete an adapter, one or more warning messages may display cautioning you that deleting an adapter:
• Permanently deletes all associations to Windchill contexts
• Permanently deletes all associations to Windchill contexts and mapping files for the adapter
• Removes any repositories and context associations to the adapter.
• Any software defects created by the adapter become invalid.
