Greetings Esri community,
We have recently migrated our Enterprise Geodatabase onto a new machine via the backup/restore method, and registered the new EGDB from its new location. I would now like to unregister the old EGDB so we can remove it from its old location. Before I can do that, though, I also had several Data Store Items connected to the old EGDB registered through Portal, and cleared these out, as per Esri documentation, by:
- Removing/Overwriting all feature services that reference the old DB.
- Unchecking the servers that can access the corresponding Data Store Item via their portal ‘Settings’ page
- Lastly, deleting the Data Store Item from Portal
However, when I go to Server Manager, the registered connections are still showing (circled in red: screenshot), still validate, and the option to delete is grayed-out because (as per the hover-over tool-tip): ‘This Data Store was registered through your portal and cannot be deleted’. They are also still showing within Server Admin Directory.
I would like to think that there is a way to remove these now-defunct registered connections but cannot seem to get rid of them. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
Greg
