After a file is no longer needed, you can remove the file from an application or module deployed on a server.
Why and when to perform this task
Removing a file deletes the file from the WebSphere Application Server configuration repository and it deletes the file from the file system of all nodes where the file is installed.Steps for this task (dependent on configuration)
Result
The file is exported to the designated location and removed from the application or module. The application or standalone Web module that had a file removed is restarted so the changes take effect.What to do next
If the application or module is deployed on a cluster and you have no more configuration changes to make, click Rollout Update on the Enterprise Applications page to propagate the changed configuration on all cluster members of the cluster on which the application or module is deployed. Rollout Update sequentially updates the configuration on the nodes that contain cluster members.
Save the changes to your administrative configuration. Application binaries are deleted when configuration changes on the deployment manager synchronize with configurations for individual nodes.
