Removing connections to RAS repositories

You can remove a repository from your repository list in the Asset Explorer view so that it is no longer accessible; however, you cannot remove pre-installed repositories like the Patterns.

To temporarily block access (refreshing and searching) of the repository, you can close it. Closing a repository instead of removing it retains the connection information. You can easily change the mode back to open and view the repository's contents or include it in a RAS asset search.

Before you delete a repository, you should record the address connection information so that you can reconnect to this repository again. You can view this information in the Asset Explorer view by right-clicking the repository's node and then clicking Show Properties View.

To delete a repository connection:
  1. Do one of the following:
    • In the Asset Explorer view, right-click the repository you want to delete and click Delete.
    • In the Asset Explorer view, click the Delete the selected Repository connection Delete repository icon button on the toolbar.
  2. Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
If you do not want to completely remove the repositories connection you can select the repository and close it. This hides the repository and lets you easily re-open it without having the repository address.
