The Domain Deactivation Wizard makes a domain unavailable for evaluation.
There are two different ways to invoke the Domain Deactivation Wizard:
Select a domain in the Active Domain Table and click the Deactivate Domain button.
Right-click a domain in the Domain Explorer and select Deactivate Domain.
The Domain Deactivation Wizard dialog box prompts you for the domains to deactivate. By default, the domains selected when you invoked the Domain Deactivation Wizard are highlighted. You can deactivate multiple domains at once.

When you've selected the domains to deactivate, click the Finish button. The deactivation completes immediately because the operation is local to Guardian and the domains are not contacted.
The successful completion of the Domain Deactivation Wizard results in:
A pop-up dialog box indicates successful completion.
The domains are removed from the Active Domain Table.
The domains are still listed in the Domain Explorer so you can access their previous Domain Inventories and Evaluation Summaries. But they are no longer displayed with a bold font.

You can remove deactivated domains from the Domain Explorer with the Purge Inactive Domains option from the Tools menu.
Any shortcuts that target the deactivated domains are removed from the Shortcut Table and Shortcut Explorer.
The domains can no longer be selected for evaluations or inventories. However, you can activate the domain again at any time.
Please note that the Domain Deactivation Wizard does not remove any of the Guardian Agents that were installed during domain activation. If you want to remove the Guardian Agents after deactivating a domain, you can use the deployment tools provided with WebLogic Server. Guardian Agents are deployed as Web Application Archive (WAR) files with the name, "bea-guardian-agent". Deployment documentation can be found on the BEA eDocs website for:
