Issue/Introduction

We have removed a UIM Connector from the SOI Administration Web page. We have then restarted the Catalyst Container Service on the UIM Connector Server and the UIM Connector is again added to SOI. We have removed the UIM connector from the startup.properties file in the Catalyst Container:

 

This does not prevent the UIM connector is readded to SOI after Catalyst Service restart. Is there any Parameter like state=disabled or state=removed in IFW for Catalyst connectors?

Environment

Release: 

SOI 4.2 CU4

UIM Connector 3.9,4
