### Deactivate Domain

When you deactivate a domain, it is no longer available for evaluation. Any shortcuts that use the domain are removed from the Shortcut Table and Shortcut Explorer. The Domain Inventory and Evaluation Summary data persists after deactivation, but is not available for viewing in Domain Explorer. You must reactivate the domain before you can view the data or evaluate the domain.

To deactivate a domain, do the following:

1. Open the Domain Deactivation Wizard.

Do one of the following:

- Click on the Domain Explorer tab to open the Domain Explorer. Then, right-click on a domain and select Deactivate from the context menu.
- Select Window > Show View > Active Domains Table. Then, select a domain from the table and click Deactivate Domain.

2. Click on a domain entry to select it.
3. Click Finish.

This deactivates the domain and returns to the Domain Explorer or Active Domain Table.

Note: | The Domain Deactivation Wizard does not remove the BEA Guardian Agents that were installed when you activated the domains. For instructions on removing Agents, see the WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help. For instructions on purging inactive domains from Guardian, see Purge All Inactive Domains on page 51.
