Uninstall the Work Tasks Extension and Connector for MES

   The UEN is shown on the Manage Workflow Repositories page in the Work Tasks Connector Configuration utility.

      After initiating the uninstall, the Work Tasks MES Extension Configurator appears.

      

   3. Enter the database server, database, and user credentials to access the Work Tasks Farm database.

      This access is required to retrieve the folder locations at which the MES Connector DLLs were installed.

   4. Select Test Connection.

      If the test connection is successful. Select Submit.

      If the connection test fails, the Submit button will not be available. In this case, you can close the Configurator. However, you will have to manually delete the MES Connector DLLs from the following folders in the Work Tasks application folder:

Clean up the Work Tasks repository and MES databases after the uninstall

4. In SQL Server Management Studio, run queries to check the information in the Work Tasks repository database and the MES databases. For example:

   --MESDB (MES Database)

   select * from MESDB.dbo.AWC_Workflowconnection

   select * from MESDB.dbo.AWC_Workflowconnection_Status

   --Work Tasks repository DB

   select * from SkeltaDB.dbo.SKExternalConnectionDetails

   select * from SkeltaDB.dbo.MESConnectionDetails

   select * from SkeltaDB.dbo.SKExternalConnections

5. Delete all the details pertaining to the UEN in the MES database and the Work Tasks repository database pertaining to the respective repository. For example:

   --delete all the details related to the unique environment name which was configured in the Work Tasks - MES Connector

   delete from MESdb.dbo.AWC_Workflowconnection_Status where UEN='MESDB_MES'

   delete from SkeltaDB.dbo.SKExternalConnectionDetails where Title='MESDB_MES'
