How to delete an entry in the list of associated machines

[ghassanzghaib]

Hi,

In the SAS Management Console, under "Server Manager", I have a server configured that has a list of associated machines in a dropdown list.

How can I delete an entry from the list?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Would you be able to provide more detailed information? Maybe a screenshot would be handy of what you are trying to delete.
Thanks

Hello,

            Please see link on two ways to delete metadata.

This might not apply in your case but some added info here is a command-line tool to delete metadata.

This SAS code would do it based on the machine name being "test". This uses the METADATA_DELOBJ function. You would need to have set the connection options necessary to connect to Metadata as an Administrator.

Be sure to take an ad-hoc metadata backup prior to running any code that writes to Metadata.

data _null_;
	obj="omsobj:Machine?@Name='test'";
	rc=metadata_delobj(obj);
	put rc=;
run;

Hi Greg,

I aknowledged the previous reply as a "Solution" but your post helped me find the object by exploring the metadata right in SAS Base.

Thanks for your help.
