SailPoint Training - 4. Remove the Applications

Sailpoint Training Highlights

🔍To remove applications in SailPoint, access the IQ console through CMD, located in the Apache Tomcat server directory.

⚙️ The IQ console validates software functionality; if issues arise, it will be indicated during this process.

🗑️ Deleting applications is crucial, especially in a development environment; two methods are demonstrated—using the IQ console and the debug page.

👨‍💻 IQ console is effective but requires caution, as mistakes may lead to corruption; auditing in the console is vital for accountability.

🌐 The debug page is an alternative; access it by modifying the URL, allowing deletion of applications with a straightforward process.

🚫 Avoid deleting applications directly from the application definition page, as it may result in errors or references to other applications.
