MORE INFORMATION

ATSWeb does not provide any way within the interface to delete any unwanted database. You can delete the ATSWeb database by deleting the entire database directory in the physical hard drive where the database is located, but this will only delete the physical database: a reference to the database will still exist in ATSWeb. You need to follow the steps below to delete any unwanted database reference:
  1. Locate the ats.usr file in the ATSWeb directory, and open this file in Notepad.
  2. The following settings appear in the ats.usr file:
    [App]
MainWinZoom=2
MainWinTop=393
MainWinLeft=723
MainWinHeight=311
MainWinWidth=499
DataPath1=c:\atsweb\servers\..\shardata\ 
DataPath2=c:\test
DataPath3=
DataPath4=
...
  3. To delete the reference to the database, remove the path next to the DataPath keyword and save the file. For example, to delete the database reference to 'c:\test' directory, remove the path information.
