9.1.5 Deleting a host from the system configuration information

When a host is found in the System Configuration window, you can delete it from the system configuration information. Only hosts that are clients can be deleted. Note that you cannot delete a client from a PC in which a relay manager or relay system is installed.

When you delete a client, the client is also deleted from the system configuration information and at the same time deleted from any host group and ID group to which it belongs. All inventory information of the deleted client is also deleted.

If the version of the relay system is 05-21 or later and the system configuration information is linked to the ID group, you can delete clients in the relay manager/system relayed from the central manager. In this case, the deleted clients are also deleted from the system configuration information managed by the relay system, host group, and ID group, and then the inventory information is also deleted. For details about linkage to the ID group, see 8.4 Linking system configuration information and ID group information.

If you have deleted a client at a relay manager, execute a Get system configuration information job from that relay manager's higher system to conform the system configuration information in the entire system.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Deleting a client
(2) Referencing information about deleted clients

(1) Deleting a client

To delete a client found by a search, from the system configuration information:

  1. In the Find dialog box, specify the search conditions and search for a host.
  2. In the search results list, right-click the client to be deleted and from the displayed menu, choose Delete from System Configuration Information.
  3. When the confirmation message appears, click the OK button.
    The specified client is deleted from the system configuration information, host group, and ID group. Inventory information is also deleted.

(2) Referencing information about deleted clients

The information about deleted clients is output to a log file, and a maximum of nine files can be stored in rmtins\gui in the installation directory.

The name of the log file is rimfindn.log, where n is 1- 9. Whenever you delete a client, the number is incremented and the log file is named as rimfind1, rimfind2, rimfind3, ..., rimfind9. When log file rimfind9 is reached, the next log file created overwrites the oldest file.

At the beginning of the log file, the search conditions are added and information about the deleted client is listed in the same format as used in the system configuration information file. Reference this information whenever necessary.

The following shows an example of the output log file:
