  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When you create a Change installation for either a Central or
    Remote server and setup a default (central) database you cannot
    ever remove the default database.
    
    This can cause problems if you need to change the default
    database or remove it form the change configuration.
    
    The only way to resolve the problem is to do a completley new
    Change installation and specify a different default database.
    
    There is no information in the installation guide to indicate
    that this limitation is by design.
    

Local fix

  • To work around this problem you will have to create a new Change
    installation.
