Un-Install

Information


In the un-likely event you want to un-install V1 components, or just want to 'start again' to re-do a particular task, the following breaks down step by step how to remove each component.

Once completed, you can either use the SmartDeployServer / Client / Addon binaries to install again, or leave them removed.

For the purposes of this chapter, we will assume C:\V1Home for the server components.

NOTE: Functionality will be compromised if one of more components are removed, but those they rely on remain.

Assumptions


  • You have a good working knowledge of Windows, the basic principals of databases, their setup and administration
  • You have knowledge of Windows Services, command line functionality and the registry
  • You have direct dial in access to the Windows server (via remote desktop) where V1 has been installed

    • Where DbArchive and / or DbCapture

  • You have access to the SQL / Oracle / PostGRE instance you are going to use and have credentials to hand sufficient to create a database
  • You have access to the appropriate database management tool (such as the SQL Server Management Studio / pgAdmin)

    • What you are about to do is permanent and none recoverable, V1 take no responsibility for loss of data / settings.
