Unpublishing a KPI

This topic describes the procedure to unpublish a KPI.

Before you begin this task:
This task applies only to the published KPIs.

You must unpublish a KPI to stop monitoring a business process or an enterprise data objects. If you unpublish a KPI, it becomes inactive and from then on, the business data is not collected for such KPIs.

  1. In the Workspace Documents (Explorer) window, right-click the published (KPI) and select Unpublish. During unpublish, a Confirm dialog appears stating 'Do you want to retain old data that talks about the business data collected till that time'. If you choose to delete or retain the business data, the message stating 'KPI Unpublished successfully' appears as a notification. If you choose to retain the business data, the business data is retained.
    Note: If a KPI is not published before, Unpublish is triggered. A message stating 'KPI is not published' appears.
  2. If you select Yes or No, then the message 'KPI Unpublished successfully' appears as a notification. 

Note:

  • If the KPI is already unpublished, then the message stating 'KPI already Unpublished' appears.
  • If the selected KPI fails to be unpublished, an exception message appears stating the error.
  • The Trend Analysis service based on the KPI data still works, and it queries the data accumulated till the unpublished information point.
