Role required: admin
About this task
This process ensures that the system can support any published applications. When you delete an application, all the records that are associated with the application, such as tables, business rules, and menus, are also deleted.
Procedure
Result
Note: If
an application is linked to Source Control (that is, the Git repository), you must
also delete the Git configuration record for an application in the Repository
Configurations (sys_repo_config) table. Without deleting this record, the
application can't be reimported from Source Control on this
instance.
