Renaming and Deleting Service Definitions
This section discusses renaming and deleting service definitions.
Note: The information in this section applies to REST and non-REST service definitions.
You can rename and delete services using the Services tab in the Service Administration component (IB_HOME_PAGE). The Services tab contains two sections: a Delete section that enables you to delete services and a Rename section that enables you to rename services.
When you first access the Services tab, both sections are collapsed. Click the section header arrow buttons to expand and collapse each section.
