Deleting an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance

When you no longer require an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance, you can delete it.

Only an administrator can delete a service instance, as described in About Oracle SOA Cloud Service Roles and User Accounts.

Note:

When you delete an instance, everything is deleted, including backups.

To delete an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance:

  1. From the menu icon menu for the service instance on the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Console, select Delete.
  2. Enter the database administrator user name and password and click Delete.
    The database itself is not deleted. Only the repository and schemas created for the Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance are deleted.
    Once deleted, the Oracle SOA Cloud Service is removed from the list of service instances displayed on the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Console and storage and OCPUs are released..
  3. (Optional) If you try to delete a service instance, and the service instance is not deleted properly, click the Retry Delete button to try to delete the service instance again.
    Service instances are not deleted properly when failed resources are not cleaned up completely.
    When you click Retry Delete, the software cleans up the fails resources and attempts to delete the service instance.
    The Retry Delete button is displayed for as long as the failed resources exist. If this is the case, click the Retry Delete button and wait. Repeat this process for as long as the Retry Delete button is displayed.
