Unpublishing a Service Definition

The service designer can unpublish a custom service definition to make it unavailable to service provisioners for creating a service request. You cannot unpublish a predefined service definition.

To unpublish a service definition, follow these steps:

  1. In the Ethernet Activator task ribbon, select the Service Design workspace icon.
  2. In the task ribbon, select the Manage Service Definitions task icon.
  3. In the Manage Service Definitions screen, select the service definition you want to unpublish.

    In table view, the State column lists published service definitions. In the thumbnail view, the decoration in the upper left corner of the thumbnail indicates the service definitions that are in the published state.

  4. Select the published service definition that you want to unpublish.
  5. In the command panel, select Unpublish Service Definition.

    The Unpublish Service Definitions window appears and prompts you to confirm your action.

  6. Click Unpublish.

    The Manage Service Definitions screen reappears. The selected service definition is now in the unpublished state.
