Deleting the repository
If you no longer require the use of a repository within your federated repository, you can delete it from your configuration.
In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent. Then, verify that they are able to synchronize.
-
Open a command prompt.
-
Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.
-
Run the following task to list the names and types of configured repositories:
- AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris z/OS®: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-query-repository -DWasPassword=password
- IBM® i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-query-repository -DWasPassword=password
- Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat wp-query-repository -DWasPassword=password
-
Go to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties directory.
-
Open the wkplc.properties file with a text editor.
-
Enter the following parameters in the wkplc.properties file under VMM Delete federated repository heading:
Note
Go to the properties file for specific information about the parameters.
- federated.delete.baseentry
- federated.delete.id
-
Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.
-
Run the following task to delete the required repository:
- AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris z/OS: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-repository -DWasPassword=password
- IBM i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-repository -DWasPassword=password
- Windows: ConfigEngine.bat wp-delete-repository -DWasPassword=password
-
Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For instructions, go to Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.
-
If the deleted repository contains the base entry where new users and groups are stored, run the update entity types task. Use this task to select a new base entry to store the new users and groups.
