Removing a data domain

You remove a data domain with endeca-cmd delete-dd name, or with the deleteDataDomain request of the Manage Web Service.

When the data domain is removed, the Endeca Server removes all its associated resources, which include source records, its .profile file, its configuration, and Endeca Server index. No backup of any sort is performed. When a data domain is deleted it cannot be restored.

To delete a data domain:

  1. Use a command-line window (for example, open a Command Prompt in Windows) and navigate to the endeca-cmd directory.

    Alternatively, access the Manage Web Service of the Endeca Server cluster at the URL, similar to the following example: http://my-endeca-server:7001/endeca-server/ws/manage. In this example, my-endeca-server is the host name of the Endeca Server cluster, 7001 is the port, and endeca-server is the root context.

  2. Depending on the method you chose, use one of these options:
    Option Description
    deleteDataDomain request This request in the Manage Web Service deletes a data domain if you specify its name.
    endeca-cmd delete-dd name This command lets you delete the data domain if you specify its name.
  3. To verify that the data domain has been deleted, list data domains and review the list.
