Deleting an Administrator Server

If you are using a replica Administrator server, the TIBCO Configuration Tool wizard does not allow you to delete a replica instance, if you want to. You can delete from the command line.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the super user specified in the remote_props.properties has force_delete permission. Only users with explicit force_delete and super user permission are allowed to delete the Administrator server instance.

Note: Do not run the deletion script on the machine on which the Administrator instance you want to delete is running. For example, assume your cluster consists of Administrator instance A running on machine X and Administrator instance B running on machine Y. To delete instance B, run the script from instance A running on machine X.

Procedure

  1. Open a command window.
  2. Go to the following directory.
    CONFIG_HOME/admin/enterprise_name/samples
  3. Edit the deleteAdminInstance_data.xml file to update the node and host name properties.
  4. Run the following command.
    ant -f deleteAdminInstance_build.xml

    When you run this command, the replica node is deleted from the environment and the replica host will be unregistered. If the replica host has any runtime nodes, the replica host is not unregistered.

  5. If the replica host is unregistered, got to the machine on which the administrator instance was running and terminate the TIBCO Host process.
