Need to Delete EVManager DB to complete Mid-Tier Installation/Configuration

[CCC1492_ME]

Hello,

We have an issue where we need to remove the EVManager DB to complete a Mid-Tier configuration.

The note says to contact SAS Tech, but I would welcome suggestions from others.

Thx,

Mark

Hello @CCC1492_ME , Mark,

several questions come to my mind, of the kind of:

- what could force you to have to delete this DB to be able to continue the deployment

- or, why are you not reaching out to SAS Technical Support, as already advised?

It is a bit mind boggling to me so I cannot give you much more advise. My reasons:

- EVManager database is integral part of your deployment, plus part of the Environment Manager product. You really don't want to mess up with that and you want to do what is supported. Right?

- What is supported is documented, and what SAS Technical Support or professional services provide, period. Even SAS partners have to adhere to those aspects, and what does not adhere, is not officially supported. 

- It is a normal database: undeploying the Environment Manager products or just deleting the database with the admin account would achieve exactly what you indicate... BUT, is it supported? If you still find issues, who will lend you a hand? You would be basically on your own and up to your own talents.
