Delete Aras Innovator from SIT Environment

1 min read

The SIT environment provides resources for a maximum of ten Aras Innovator test instances. Aras recommends keeping the number of test instances at about three to five. The project team should retain the latest test instances while removing older ones to prevent potential performance degradation. The DeleteInnovator Pipeline deletes test instances by providing the instance name (lowercase) and identifying the Build.

Important
It is possible to delete also from UAT, STG, and PROD environments. Deleting from other environments follows the same user experience. Pipeline names may vary depending on the single package in use.

After approximately thirty days, the system will automatically delete a Build.

The following steps outline the process of deleting the Aras Innovator from SIT Environment:

  1. Navigate to https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}.
  2. Click Overview and select Wiki.

  1. Expand Environment Information and select SIT.

  1. Copy the required instance.
  2. Navigate to Pipelines and select the DeleteInnovatorPipeline.

  1. Click the Run Pipeline button.
  2. In the Aras Innovator instance Name to Delete field, paste the SIT instance which was copied in step 4.
  3. Select Resources and click ContinousIntegration [Delete Innovator].

  1. Select the correct Build. The Build Name ends with a timestamp yyyyymmdd##. In the corresponding Build, a dot separates the Build Number from the Date.
    Note
    The timestamp of SIT instance should match the Build’s timestamp.

  1. Click the Use selected run button.

  1. Select Variables and enter the value in the Update Variable dialog box. Set the Variable in lowercase “sit” and click Update.

  1. Navigate back to Run Pipeline pane and click the Run button.
