Undeploying SOA composite outside em Console

Question

Hi,
In case my EM console is not coming up due to some error in a particular composite. Is it possible to undeploy the BPEL composite outside the em console?
Is the jar file stored in some path in UNIX server (my server is hosted in unix). And can i directly remove the jar file and restart the server.
Thanks

Hi Amit
1. NO, you cannot UnDeploy Workflow Composite JAR from Weblogic Admin Console (httP://host:port/console). You can UnDeploy only from EM and using ANT Scripts.
2. Undeploy using EM and ANT Scripts will also do some background cleanup like removing the processes, some details from backend soa_infra database once the process is undeployed. So use only EM or ANT Scripts. DO NOT use Admin Console or Directly deleting the physical file from server folder.
3. See the below links/posts for more details: You can Deploy or UnDeploy using ANT scripts
a) http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/sca_lifecycle.htm#CACJIACG
See the sample command here. You do need the admin username/password for the soa server where you want to deploy/undeploy the above jar file. The ANt scripts available in the Middleware_Home\SOA_Suite_Home\bin something like: C:\Oracle\Middleware115BPM\Oracle_SOA1\bin
b) Re: how to undeploy soa project using ant instead using em manually
