If an older version of MDS is installed, uninstall it before you install the new version.
  1. Log on as the root user.
  2. [If you do not want to use your existing MDS repository with the new release of MDS] From the command line, type:metadelete superuser password -F -h

    where:

    • superuser is the name of an MDS administrator
    • password is the password of an MDS administrator
    • -F deletes the repository even if it is not the current release
    • -h displays a message that describes the metadelete parameters, then exits; no changes are made to the repository
    All of the objects (tables, views, macros, and so on) that were created by MDS in the Teradata Database are deleted.
  3. If the MDS development kit files are installed, uninstall them.
  4. If the MDS DIM Update files are installed, uninstall them.
  5. Remove the MDS base package to uninstall the MDS Core files:

    rpm -e mdsbase
