Remove a Subscriber

If you no longer want to propagate updates to a particular subscriber, you should remove it.

To remove a subscriber

1. Remove the computer from the subscription list:

   sepmd ‑u PMDB_name computer_name
   

   The computer is removed from the Policy Model subscription list.

2. Shut down seosd on the computer that you removed from the subscription list:

   secons -s
   

   The seosd service is shut down.

3. Delete the value of the parent_pmd registry value in the following registry key on the computer you removed from the subscription list:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\AccessControl
   

   The computer will stop accepting updates from the parent PMDB.

4. Restart seosd.

   The active database on the computer that you removed from the subscription list, is no longer a subscriber of the specified PMDB.

Note: Once the database is unsubscribed from the PMDB, the PMDB no longer sends commands.
