Removing an InForm study

  1. Stop the study, using the following command:

    pfadmin stop trial <studyname>

  2. Remove the study, using the following command:

    pfadmin remove trial <studyname>

    or

    To remove the DSNs from ODBC data source administration at the same time, use the following command

    pfadmin remove trial <studyname> /DSN

  3. If you did not remove the study DSN with the pfadmin utility, remove it through the Windows Data Sources (ODBC) utility:
    1. Select Start > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).
    2. Select the System DSN tab.
    3. Select the study DSN, and click Remove.
    4. If the study has a randomization or CDD DSN, remove those, as well.
    5. Click OK.
  4. After removing all studies from an InForm server, remove the server with the following command:

    pfadmin remove server <servername>

  5. Back up the study database.
  6. Remove the study user from the database. As the pfdbadmin user, issue the following SQL*Plus command:

    drop user <study_uid> cascade;

    Caution: When you perform this step, all study data is removed. Make sure that the backup is complete before you drop the study user.
