Cannot delete SMO profiles

Hi!

I'm installing SMO infraestructure and now atfer the laborotory test I have one doubt about profiles.

I had one SMO_TEST repository, after test the application y I installed new SMO_PROD repository in new server and BBDD and delete the SMO_TEST repository.

Now when I run this command from one of test servers (not from SMO database resides): smo profile list this is the output.

Profile name: SMO_TEST_SRV1 (Originaly created in SMO_TEST Catalog)
Profile name: SMO_PROD_SRV1 (Originaly created in SMO_PROD Catalog)

Profile name: SMO_TEST_SRV2 (Created in SMO_PROD but also its was created with the same name in SMO_TEST Catalog)

I see two profiles, the old and new but the old database is deleted and the server offline. ¿Is there any way to remove the old registry and SMO_TEST repository?

If I run this other command : smo profile sync -repository -dbname SMO_PROD -host 192.168.1.1 -port 1529 -login -username repo this is the output

[ INFO] SMO-20010: Synchronizing mapping for profiles in repository "repo@SMO_PROD/[192.168.1.1]:1529".

Try to clear cache in SMO GUI. Navigate to Menu -> Admin -> Credentials -> ClearCache

Reconnect to server and the repository & try syncing again.

Thanks Sahana

I've performed what you indicated to me but the profiles references have not been deleted.

In the SMO Java console I only view the correct repository repo@SMO_PROD and associated profiles SMO_PROD_SRV1

But if I execute this command smo profile list -verbose in one AIX host that SMO is installed the result is:

Profile name: SMO_TEST_SRV1
Profile name: SMO_PROD_SRV1

Profile name: SMO_TEST_SRV2

Where SMO_TEST_SRV1 and SMO_TEST_SRV2 are the profiles of old repository that doesn't exists.

Thanks

It may be due to Identically named profiles. Refer row 4 in the link https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1354396/html/GUID-6FA823DD-6655-49E6-B9C4-DDE7CFA865A6.html
