Executing the removal

The file 'atlasfx.war' has to be removed from the directory 'webapps' to remove the web application. You can find the folder 'webapps' in the Catalina base directory. As mentioned in a previous step before, the old file 'atlasfx.war' should not be removed, because it is necessary in case of update failure. Instead, move the file to the directory 'undeplox' or to your preferred storage location for the old deployment package.

After the 'atlasfx.war' file has been removed from the 'webapps' directory, the web application should be removed by Tomcat. This process may take some time to complete. Typically, the removal process lasts between several seconds and three minutes. The web application is removed successfully when the folder 'atlasfx' does not exist in the directory 'webapps' anymore.

In case the directory is not removed automatically from the folder 'atlasfx', please use the documentation of the servlet engine to determine how to terminate the removal of the web application.

Before the new web application can be deployed, it is recommended to restart the servlet engine. Since the Web application does not release all resources during removal, the servlet engine should be restarted to force a release. Stop the servlet engine and check whether the application was stopped. Perform a restart of the servlet engine then.
