CLI Reference Guide

Deletion is subject to a set of business rules which depend on the type of artifact. The business
rules for artifacts are explained in the table below. Note that consumption artifacts are not removed
from the database when they are deleted; instead, the artifact is marked as retired. Please refer to
the"Catalog API" on page 42 for retiring consumption artifacts.
Artifact type Details
Resource
provider

provider.
Service design Can be deleted when all associated service offerings or service instances are
retired.
Retrieve a predefined view for an artifact
Because the REST API presented here returns content ina different format when retrieving a single
result versus multiple results, and could thereby complicate your using the results, it is
recommended that the "View an artifact" on page 12API be used. Performance intensive
applications might stillchoose to use the following API.
