Updating the Sametime System Console when server unregistration fails
If you attempted to unregister an IBM® Sametime® server from the console using either the uninstallation program or the manual unregistration utility and it failed, you can update the console itself to complete the unregistration task. You can also use this method if the installed server has failed and cannot be uninstalled or unregistered.
Before you begin
About this task
This utility removes information about a Sametime server from the IBM DB2® database
used by the Sametime System
Console, effectively unregistering the server. This method is useful
when you are unable to complete the unregistration task from the server
itself; for example:
- If you have run an uninstall, and received an error message stating that the Sametime System Console could not be contacted to remove the server from the configuration.
- If you experienced a catastrophic server failure and cannot run the uninstallation program or the unregistration utility on that server.
- If you want to force the removal of a server from the Sametime System Console's topology for some reason and the unregistration utility failed.
