If
you have portlets that you no longer use, you can remove the configuration
of those portlets. To register portlets, the SAS Information Delivery
Portal copies the portlet deployment descriptor file,
portlet.xml,
from each portlet archive file (PAR) in the
SAS-Configuration-Directory/Lev1/Web/Applications/SASPortlets4.3/Deployed directory
to the
sas.portal4.3.ear file.
To remove a proprietary
SAS portlet configuration, follow these steps.
-
Undeploy the portal
from the Web application server where it is running.
-
Remove your portlet's
PAR file from the
SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/Applications/SASPortlets4.3/Deployed directory.
Note: If you cannot remove the
PAR file because it is locked, stop the Web application server that
is running the portal. During the portlet registration process, the
portal loads classes from the PAR files. As a result, the portal has
a lock on all PAR files that it deploys. Some Web application servers
require the server to be stopped in order to break that lock.
-
Follow the standard
unconfiguration practices for your portlet and the Web application
server. This task might include undeploying any Web application or
other resource that supports your portlet.
-
To remove the
portlet.xml file
from the
sas.portal4.3.ear file, use
the
Rebuild Web Applications option
in the SAS Deployment Manager to rebuild the EAR file for the portal.
See
Rebuilding the SAS Web Applications in SAS Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.
-
In step 2, if you stopped
the Web application server where the portal was deployed, restart
the Web application server now.
