Deleting Startup and Shutdown Classes

Deleting a startup or shutdown class configuration permanently removes it from the domain's configuration and prevents it from running on all servers to which it has been deployed. If you only want to temporarily stop a startup or shutdown class from running, undeploy it from a server. For more details, see To Stop and Restart the Startup and Shutdown Classes.

To Delete a Startup and Shutdown Class Configuration

1. Click on Lock & Edit in the Change Center to modify the settings for the SunMicrosystems_Startup.
2. Expand Environment from the Domain tree structure on the left panel of the console and select Startup and Shutdown Classes.
3. On the Startup and Shutdown Classes page, check the class you want to delete.
4. Click Delete and confirm the deletion.
5. Click on Activate Changes in the Change Center of the Administration Console, to activate these changes.

   The following message appears on the right panel of the screen.

   All changes have been activated. No restarts are necessary.

   Note - Not all changes take effect immediately. Some require a restart .

   WebLogic Server undeploys the class from the targeted servers and removes the class from the domain's configuration file.

Next Steps

• Remove the class from the server's classpath.

• Restart the servers from which you have deleted the class.

  Note - After you delete a shutdown class, it will run the first time you shut down the server. When you shut down the server subsequently, it will no longer run.
