Here is the script:

"""
This is designed to be run locally on iWorkflow to remove stuck ASO in
"ERROR_IN_DELETION" status. See "Remove Service" at:

doing a PUT on L4-L7 Service with the body of itself
changes placement status to ERROR_IN_PLACEMENT
then we can delete the L4-L7 Service
url = p['tenantServiceInstance']['selfLink'][17:]
GET service json for PUT body
service = get(address, url, auth_token, debug)
format of PUT body
put_data = json.dumps(service, indent=4)
Do PUT on the service to change placement status
put_stat = put(
address, url, auth_token, put_data, debug=False)
delete service right after, seems to only work if done quickly
I could not get to work by manually doing this with curl
I do not know the reason for this
print "Deleting ", p['appName'], "\n"
