Deleting a Configuration Manager on Windows

You delete the Configuration Manager using the command line. The Configuration Manager can be deleted only from the system where the Configuration Manager component is installed.

You can delete a Configuration Manager without also deleting your domain connection parameters in the workbench. If you want to delete a Configuration Manager and create a new one, you can keep your connection parameters in the workbench, even if you specify different parameters when creating the new Configuration Manager. When you reconnect to your domain in the workbench your new settings will be displayed.

To delete a Configuration Manager:

  1. Stop the Configuration Manager using the mqsistop command command.
  2. Delete the Configuration Manager using the mqsideleteconfigmgr command command.
On completion of this task, you have:
  • Stopped the Windows service that runs the Configuration Manager.
  • Removed the record for the component in the broker registry. It is therefore removed from the list of components displayed by issuing the mqsilist (list resources) command command.
  • Preserved all internal data associated with the Configuration Manager, unless you specify the -n parameter on the mqsideleteconfigmgr command command.
