Using the Configuration Tool

Use the Configuration Tool to unconfigure the database that is associated with a directory server instance.

1. On AIX®, Linux, or Solaris systems, log on as root. On Windows systems, log on with a user ID that is a member of the Administrators group.
2. Start the Configuration Tool by entering the following command:idsxcfg
3. Click Unconfigure Database in the navigation pane.
4. In the Unconfigure Database window, select one of the following options:

   Unconfigure database

   Removes information about the database from the configuration file for the directory server instance. However, the database and its data are left intact. This makes the database inaccessible to the directory server instance but does not destroy any data in the database.

   Unconfigure and destroy database

   Deletes the database and its contents and removes information about the database from the configuration file for the directory server instance.

5. Click Unconfigure.
6. Click Yes to confirm the operation.
