Cannot Delete an NCO Component

Description:

When you try to delete a selected Local component, you receive the following error message:

Cannot be deleted.

If an NCO is installed on any managed host within the selected distributions, it will be detected and uploaded again. To prevent Sun Update Connection – Enterprise from undoing your delete command, the message reminds you to uninstall the software component from all hosts before deleting it from the knowledge base.

Workaround:

Do the following:

1. Open the Inventory panel (View -> Inventory).

2. From the Components list, right-click the software component and choose Component Properties. The Component Information window opens. In the Installed tab, see the list of all managed hosts that have this component installed.

3. Create and deploy a job to uninstall this component from the listed hosts.

4. Return to the main window and delete the component.
