Deleting the repository on AIX

If you have made changes to your company and no longer require the use of a repository within your default federated repository, you can delete the repository from your configuration.

In a single server environment the WebSphere_Portal and server1 servers can be either stopped or started.

In a clustered environment stop all appservers on the system including WebSphere_Portal and server1 and then start the nodeagent and deployment manager servers before starting the following task.

To delete a repository from the default federated repository:

1. Run...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-query-repository -DWasPassword=password

   from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to list the names and types of configured repositories.

2. Edit...
   profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

3. Enter the following parameters in wkplc.properties under VMM Delete federated repository properties:
   • federated.delete.baseentry
   • federated.delete.id

4. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

5. Run...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-delete-repository -DWasPassword=password

   from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to delete a federated repository.

6. Propagate the security changes:

   Option	Description
   Standalone	cd profile_root/bin ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password cd profile_root/bin ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password cd profile_root/bin ./startServer.sh server1 cd profile_root/bin ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
   Cluster	cd dmgr_profile/bin ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password cd profile_root/bin ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password cd profile_root/bin ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password cd dmgr_profile/bin ./startManager.sh cd profile_root/bin ./startNode.sh cd profile_root/bin ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

If the deleted repository contained the base entry where new users and groups are stored, run the wp-update-entitytypes task to select a new base entry to store the new users and groups.

If you performed these steps after creating the clustered environment, run enable-jcr-security on the secondary node.
