This topic describes how to remove a single-instance Oracle database on Windows.

To remove a single-instance Oracle database on Windows

1. From the Management Console, navigate to the domain that contains the Oracle database that you want to remove, and click the database name.
2. Select Provision > Remove Database.

3. In the Remove Oracle Database page, populate the following fields, and click Next.
4. If the Custom Fields page appears, update the custom fields as necessary, and click Next.
    The Custom Fields page appears only when custom fields are defined in the BMC Database Automation XML template used for this provisioning activity. See Adding-custom-fields-to-a-template.

5. In the Options page, populate the following fields, and click Next.

6. In the Custom Scripts Configuration page, select any pre-provisioning or post-provisioning scripts that you want to run as follows, and click Next.

7. In the Job Options page, specify any of the following Job options, and click Next.

8. If the Change Control page displays, populate the following fields, and click Next.

   Note

   The Change Control page appears only when change control is configured for your environment. See Configuring-change-control.

9. In the Summary page, review the provisioning information.
   To make changes, do the following:
   1. Click Go to to return to the provisioning step that you want to edit.
   2. Make your changes.
   3. Click Save and Review to return to the Summary page.
10. Specify your verification preferences.
     For additional information, see Understanding pre-verification tests.
    • To continue with database creation after the pre-verification tests have been successfully run without manual intervention, select Automatically Continue If All Tests Succeed.

    • To create the database without having first run the pre-verification steps, select Skip Pre-Verification Tests.

      Note

      The Skip Pre-Verification Tests option should only be used when you are certain all tests can succeed. The option skips verification and advances directly to the actual provisioning activity.

11. Click Remove Database.

12. Click OK when you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the database.

    Warning

    This operation permanently deletes the database files from the node.

    Note

    If you select the Automatically Continue If All Tests Succeed option, the removal process continues automatically after the tests have been completed successfully.

    After verification, the job is performed and the results appear.
     A confirmation message indicates the database has been removed.

13. If this procedure was not successful, see Troubleshooting.

    Note

    You can always return to a Job's Information page by using the Jobs section of the Management Console. See Monitoring-jobs-and-viewing-job-history for details.
