Entered wrong DMA ID while installation

Solved1.21K views7th June 2021

Hello Team,

I am in the process of installing the DM software in the fresh server. While installing the DM software I have entered the wrong DMA ID. Is there any option to change the DMA ID to proceed with the further installation and licensing? or should I need to remove the software and reinstall?

You could also change the ID attribute of the <DataMiner> tag inside C:\Skyline DataMiner\DataMiner.xml. After restarting DataMiner (with SLTaskbarUtility) a new Request.lic file will be generated (which will then allow you to request a license).

Is this approach as safe as uninstalling and installing again?

Gellynck Jens [SLC] commented 7th June 2021

Assuming your DMA is still in a cleanly installed state (so you haven’t created any elements, didn’t cluster it with other agents,…), it should be safe (and much faster).

Hi Jeyaram,

Since you will need to generate again the request file (request.lic) with the correct DMA ID, I believe the best option is to remove and install again DataMiner.

In DataMiner Help you will find the steps to uninstall DataMiner:
