Unloading KMs from a PATROL Console

If you no longer want to view a KM that currently appears in your console, you can unload the corresponding application classes (.km files) that make up the KM. The following procedures provide the steps required to unload a KM onto each of the respective PATROL consoles.

To unload KMs from the PATROL Console for Microsoft Windows

Unloading a KM is also referred to as deleting a KM in the PATROL Console for Microsoft Windows. However, the files are actually unloaded from the console's memory rather than deleted from your hard drive.

1. From the KM tab of the tree view, right-click the application class name that you want to delete and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
    The console displays a dialog box that asks if you want to delete the selected application.
2. To delete the application class, click Yes.
    The application class is removed from your console, and its corresponding .km file is removed from your console session file when you save your changes.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until you have deleted all of the application classes (.km files) associated with the KM that you want to delete.
4. From the console menu bar, select File> Save KM to save your changes.
