Deleting Objects with IT Administrator

Note: Version 9 does not support dependent spawners. If you are using Version 9, do not configure a dependent spawner.

Deleting an object (for example, a table) removes it from the LDAP server. Once an object has been deleted from the server, there is no way to restore it.

You cannot delete any of the following nodes:

  • Publish Framework
    • Publish Subscribe root
    • Channels
    • Subscribers
  • SAS Servers
    • Dependent Spawners
    • SAS Logins
    • Servers
    • Spawners
  • SAS Archiving
    • Archive Paths
  • Applications
    • Stored Process Paths
  • SAS Data Sources
    • Libraries
    • Tables
Some channels may appear as folders because they contain overrides. To delete channels that contain subscription overrides, you must first delete all the overrides. Subscription overrides may be deleted by selecting them and clicking the Delete button. Deleting a subscriber's override does not delete the subscriber. See Overrides for more information.

To delete an object from the LDAP directory:

  1. Open IT Administrator.

  2. In the manager bar, select the administration area in which you would like to delete an object: Publish Framework, SAS Configuration, SAS Archiving, Applications, or SAS Data Sources.

  3. In the tree view, find the folder for the type of object you would like to delete. Then click the plus sign to open the folder. (For example, to delete a table object, you would open the Tables folder under SAS Data Sources.)

  4. Select the object that you wish to delete. The object's current properties will be displayed in the property view in the right portion of the window.

  5. Select the Delete icon (Delete) on the toolbar; or select File Delete from the menu bar.

  6. Select OK in the confirmation dialog box. The item is deleted.
