Uninstall DataMiner and databases

Due to developing and switching between several versions and databases, I got to a point where I just want to start from a full clean slate.

I didn't seem to find a proper way to uninstall DataMiner and the databases (due to mixing versions and setups, I have multiple).

What would be the advised strategy to handle this?

Hi Michiel,

I believe that the steps indicated in DataMiner Help to uninstall DataMiner is a good start. In case you are using DataMiner Configs, you will also need to remove the folder C:\Skyline DataMiner Configs.

Regarding the DBs, most probably you will have both DBs available (MySQL and Cassandra). You will need to remove both DBs as indicated in the DataMiner Help:

  • For MySQL: Execute the batch RemoveDB.bat
  • For Cassandra: Follow the step 4 indicated in the DataMiner Help

Thanks for the info. That is indeed useful for clearing data, but in my case I had issues with the connection between DataMiner and the databases as well.
