Deleting Subservers

In the Data Replication Console, the idradmin user can delete subservers from the Server Manager Main server.

Before you delete a subserver, perform the following prerequisite tasks for each replication configuration that is connected to the subserver that you want to delete:

On the

Server Manager

tab >

Schedules

view, stop all running tasks. For more information, see Stopping and Restarting a Scheduled Task Manually.

On the

Server Manager

tab >

Configs

view, change to another source or target subserver. For more information, see Editing a Replication Configuration.

On the

Server Manager

tab >

Tasks

view, if you created user-defined tasks that run on the subserver that you want to delete, change the subserver on which user-defined tasks run. For more information, see Editing Tasks.

On the

Server Manager

tab >

Configs

view, connect to the Main server as the idradmin user.

On the

Server Manager

tab >

Servers

view, select the subserver you want to delete.
