Removing Tier Collectors

To remove Tier Collectors

1. From StartPoint, click the AdminPoint tab.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. From the drop-down menu, select Instances.
4. Select the instance that you wish to remove, from the instance list.
5. At the bottom of the Display Instances screen, click Remove.

Complete any relevant action items that might appear. For more information, see Action Items for Removing Tiers on page 233.

Removing Product FocalPoints

After removing the last Tier agent, action items are generated for how to remove specific product FocalPoints. Alternatively, you can configure the registry to auto-uninstall product FocalPoints, with the removal of the last Tier agent.

To configure the registry to auto-uninstall product FocalPoints

1. On the main node Precise FocalPoint open the following file:
        products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\products\<product-code>.xml
     <product-code> is the two-letter code of the product from which you want to automatically uninstall its FocalPoint.
2. Locate the tag  <auto-uninstall> and update its value to "true": <auto-uninstall>true</auto-uninstall>.
3. Delete the status file: products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\products\<product-code>.xml.status
4. Restart the main node Precise FocalPoint.

Removing server definitions

Server definitions are automatically removed by default. Alternatively, the user can configure the registry so the server will not be automatically removed. In this case, the user should use CLI to remove the server. For more information, see The CLI Guide.

To configure the registry so the server will not be automatically removed

1. On the main node Precise Focalpoint open the following file:
        products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\settings.xml
2. Locate the tag <auto-remove-ba> and update its value to
        "false": <auto-remove-ba>false</auto-remove-ba>
3. Delete the status file:
        products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\settings.xml.status
4. Restart the main node Precise FocalPoint.

Removing Framework Components

To remove FrameWork Components

1. Activate the SetUp program, found on your Precise CD by double-clicking the SetUp program.
2. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
3. Select "I accept the terms of the license agreement" and click Next.

5. On the Uninstall screen, enter the following parameters:
   • Precise GUI Web server
   • Server name or IP address
   • GUI Port
