     If you enable the option, product configuration data including users, pod preferences, and custom pods is deleted from the external database. Removing the integration with the BMC Atrium DIL server will invalidate the application server cluster so that no other application server nodes can access the cluster. Enable the option only if this is the last application server in the cluster or if you are removing the product from your environment.
     
     If you do not enable the option, you can proceed with the uninstallation by removing the BMC Dashboards for BSM application server files from the local computer computer only.
     
     Click Next after making your selection.
