  • 1.  Can't delete BIOS Packages on Package Servers

    Posted Nov 01, 2013 02:14 PM

    I have built a new SMP 7.1 server and migrated my NS 6 server to it.  I then built a package server and noticed that there are 54 packages for BIOS Settings.  I searched my SMP’s Program Files for the GUID's and can't find them anywhere.  When I checked through my SMP console I happened to find them under Organizational Views>Default>All Resources>Packages.  I do not have any options to delete these packages when I right click them. Is there a way to delete these out so that my package servers do not reflect these packages?

    These packages are most likely created by the 6.x HPCMS product.

    Obtain their guids and then add them into the ItemToDelete table.

     

    If these packages share a common name, you could use the following query to obtain their guids instead of right-clicking each one and choosing properties:

    SELECT Guid, GETDATE()
    FROM RM_ResourceSoftware_Package
    WHERE name like '%common name goes here%'

    If they dont exist in that table, try the SWDPackage one.

     

    You could then use a query like this to add them into the ItemToDelete table:

    INSERT INTO ItemToDelete
    SELECT Guid, GETDATE()
    FROM RM_ResourceSoftware_Package
    WHERE name like '%common name goes here%'
