You must have superuser privileges to delete a network location. Users who connect from a location that was mapped to a deleted network location are not automatically mapped when they connect to a web client. If you selected any network locations to be displayed to users who are not automatically mapped, the users see that list when they log in.
Network locations are used to determine which server provides content files to end users. If the network location that you are deleting is associated with any BOCS or ACS servers, users at those locations could not receive content in the most efficient manner possible.
When you delete network locations, references to the network locations in existing server configuration objects, acs configuration objects, bocs configuration objects, and BOCS caching jobs are not automatically removed. You must manually remove any references to the deleted network locations.
To delete network locations:
Connect to the global registry repository known to DFC as a user with superuser privileges.
Select Administration > Distributed Content Configuration > Network Locations.
The Network Locations list page appears. You do not see any network locations listed if you are not connected to the global registry.
Click Global Registry Login and connect to the correct repository if you see the following warning message instead of the Network Locations list page:
Network locations can only be created in repositories that are designated as global registries. The current repository is not a global registry. Click the link below to log in to the global registry repository known to DFC on the Documentum Administrator host. You must have superuser privileges to create network locations.
On the Network Location list page, select the network location to delete.
Note the Network Location Name and Network Location Identifier for the network location.
Select File > Delete.
The Network Location object Delete page appears.
Click OK to delete the selected network location or Cancel to retain the network location.
If deleting multiple network locations, select Next or Finish.
Delete references to the network location from existing server configuration objects, acs configuration objects, bocs configuration objects, and BOCS caching jobs in the current repository and any other repositories.
