ABSTRACT:
In an application executing in multiple computers connected by a network, an instance of the application is deleted from a group of instances that share a resource, such as a database. Specifically the to-be-deleted instance is shut down, followed by deleting connectivity between the to-be-deleted instance and the network, and then deleting an object of the to-be-deleted instance. Each of these acts is performed automatically without user input, once the user issues an instruction to delete the to-be-deleted instance.
