How to: Delete Endpoints from Applications

In Application Designer, you can delete certain endpoints from application definitions. For example, you can delete Web service provider endpoints from ASP.NET Web applications but not Web service provider endpoints from external Web services. Deleting an application endpoint can also affect other distributed system diagrams that reference that endpoint as well as the application diagram. For more information, see Considerations for Deleting Endpoints from Applications.

Tip

After you delete an endpoint, review the application diagram and any system diagrams that reference that endpoint. You can then determine whether you need to create new connections or create new proxy endpoints for systems that reference that endpoint. For more information, see Defining Communication Pathways on Application Diagrams and Defining Communication Pathways on System Diagrams.

To delete an endpoint from an application definition

  1. Select one or more endpoints you want to delete.

  2. On the Edit menu, choose Delete.

    Tip

    You can also press the DELETE key or right-click the endpoint and choose Delete.

    The endpoint you selected is deleted as well as any connections to it on the application diagram. References, connections, proxy endpoints, and delegations associated with that endpoint on open system diagrams are also deleted.
