Deleting tenants

You can delete a tenant from IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence. This might be needed if the tenant was permanently moved to a different instance of IBM Cognos BI.

Before you begin

Before deleting a tenant, you must terminate the tenant active user sessions. Otherwise, you will not be able to delete the tenant.

About this task

When you delete a tenant, you also delete all content associated with the tenant, such as reports, user profiles, or content store utilization tasks.

Procedure

  1. In IBM Cognos Administration, click the Multitenancy tab.
  2. Choose the applicable action:
    • To delete multiple tenants, select the tenant check boxes, and click the Delete icon in the toolbar.
    • To delete one tenant, from the tenant Actions drop-down menu, click Delete.
    If there are active user sessions for any of the tenants that you are trying to delete, an error message is displayed. You cannot proceed with the delete action for that tenant until its active sessions are terminated.
