Hi Avinash,

Please first delete the database, then uninstall the software.

To delete the database, you can use dbmcli command or database studio:

dbmcli -d MDM -u superdba,<password> db_offline

dbmcli -d MDM -u superdba,<password> db_drop -f

Afterwards proceed the software uninstall as you did.

PLEASE NOTE delete db means you delete anything.

Best regards,
James

Hi ,

Did you tried by installing the MaxDB Database Studio? Obviously the way thgat you are following to just uninstall & just get rid of the matter & start fresh is not the proper way & that is why you are facing the errors. Let us know your OS.  For example, in Windows, there would be registry entryo f database ports & all.

Thanks,
