Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to remove and disable AMS Asset Viewer?  Reasons would be that the component is deemed to be unnecessary for day to day site operations.

Environment

Release : 17.3

Component : ARGIS (WEB VERSION)

Resolution

Removing the AMS component is not supported.  This is because later patch updates would rely on the presence of the AMS component and its removal would break the patch installation. 

One can submit a suggestion or idea to Communities.Broadcom.Com to consider its removal or disablement.
