Uninstalling DSS

This section describes step-by-step instructions on how to uninstall DSS from Linux, Unix, or Windows machine.

Uninstalling from Linux or Unix

Deactivate channels

Deactivate replications for all channels that are currently activated.

{% tabs %}

{% tab label="CLI" %}

Run the command dssactivate with option -d to deactivate replication for a specific channel. You have to repeat the command for every activated channel.

dssactivate -d myhub mychannel

{% /tab %}

{% tab label="UI" %}

Go to the Channels page and deactivate replication for all currently activated channels.

{% /tab %}

{% /tabs %}

Delete hub system registration

This step is only applicable for customers on Business Critical pricing plan that have registered the hub system with a Data Source Solutions Account.

Note that deleting hub system registration is available only through the User Interface.

To delete hub system registration, follow these steps:

Go to the System page.
Click the More Options icon at the top right and select Licensing.
In the Licensing dialog, click Delete Registration.
Click OK in the confirmation dialog.

Deleting a Data Source Solutions account registration only removes the account registration information from the current hub's repository. This will not delete the Data Source Solutions account itself.

However, deleting a Data Source Solutions account registration will immediately stop uploading the Monthly Active Rows (MAR) data and the auto-renewal of the license will be stopped (so the license will expire after seven days).

Shut down hub and agent

If the DSS Hub and DSS Agent Listener are running, stop/shut them down using the following commands in CLI:

To stop the DSS Hub Server, run command dsshubserver with option -k:
```
dsshubserver -k
```
To stop the DSS Agent Listener, run command dssagentlistener with option -k:
```
dssagentlistener -k
```

Remove the DSS repository user

To remove your repository user, run command dssuserconfig with option -d:

dssuserconfig -d myuser

Remove repository tables

To drop the repository tables from the repository database, run command dssreposconfig with option -d:

dssreposconfig -d

To remove the DSS installation files, delete the following folders:

DSS_HOME. Path: /home/mydss/dss_home
DSS_CONFIG. Path: /home/mydss/dss_config
DSS_TMP. Path: /home/mydss/dss_tmp
