Unregister a Product

You can use the unregister command to unregister a product. You can use this call where it is not possible or preferable to access the product registration interface to remove a registration certificate.

Unregister Product URL Examples:

https://ELMSERVER:5250/spin/calmapi/calmapi/registerProduct.csp?action=unregister&certname=YourProductName&username=Administrator&password=adminpassword

In this case "&username=Administrator" specifies a CA Enterprise Log Manager user with the Administrator role. Replace "Administrator" with an appropriate administrator-privileged user.

"&password=adminpassword" specifies password for the Administrator user. Replace "adminpassword" with the password for the user you specified in "&username=".

Note: Use the EiamAdmin username and password to register a product. To list or unregister products, you can use the EiamAdmin credentials, but Administrator credentials are sufficient.

Success Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<Result>
<Value>true</Value>
	<Description>The product has been unregistered successfully. The default access rights have been revoked. </Description>
</Result>

Failure Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<Result>
<Value>false</Value>
	<Description> EE_POZERROR Repository Error</Description>
</Result>

Note: An error often results when the product has already been unregistered or does not exist. Another common error description is “EE_AUTHFAILED Authentication failed” which indicates the password was incorrect.
