Remove the Connector and Connector Data from CA SOI

Removing CA Catalyst r3.2 connectors and their data from CA SOI does not require uninstalling the connector. Uninstalling the IFW Proxy deletes the connection between CA SOI and CA Catalyst, and you can remove existing connector data from CA SOI.

Follow these steps:

1. Uninstall the IFW Proxy on the CA Catalyst connector system by selecting Uninstall CA Service Operations Insight IFW Proxy from the Start menu.

   Uninstalling the IFW Proxy removes the connection between CA SOI and the CA Catalyst connector.

2. Find the connector entry in the CA SOI Administration UI and click Remove Connector.

   The connector data is deleted from the SA Store database, and the entry disappears from the tree when the operation is complete.

3. (Optional) Uninstall the connector if it is not required for other CA Catalyst solutions.

If you need to maintain a connection between CA SOI and other connectors on the same system, retain the IFW Proxy. Clicking Remove Connector on the CA SOI Administration UI still removes the CA Catalyst r3.2 connector data and updates the connector configuration to prevent subsequent use of the connector in CA SOI.

To enable a disabled connector, set the SOIState property to Enabled or remove the property altogether in the connectorname.conf file located at CATALYST_HOME\containerName\registry\topology\physical\nodename\modules\configuration.

Note: If your CA Catalyst deployment includes a CA Catalyst Server, log in to the Registry Administration UI to access and modify this file.
