Delete a remote service
To delete a remote service, first remove it from any locations where it is in use. If you wish to delete an Appliance manager or a Business process manager remote service, you must replace it in the location where it is in use or delete the datacenter or public cloud region.
Modify remote services of a datacenter or public cloud region
To modify the remote services in an existing location:
Edit the datacenter or public cloud region, and go to Remote services
To add an existing remote service, click on the arrow to the right of the Remote service and select the new remote service
To remove a remote service, click the black "x" beside it
To display the status of the remote service from the last manual or automatic infrastructure check, click the Check button and the status indicator will show green or red (not available). You should not save a location when any of the remote services are not available in the location.
When you have edited all the Remote services, click Save.
You cannot edit the Appliance manager or the Business process manager. They must always be associated with one and only one location.
You can only replace them on the main Remote Services tab in Infrastructure view (the AM requires the same repository) or delete them by deleting the entire location.
