How do I remove the Juniper ERX binary configuration unit from further jobs within VoyenceControl?

The changes below must be taken on all VoyenceControl servers (application and device). 

Windows:

1. Copy $VOYENCE_HOME\package\pkgxml\JuniperERX\JuniperERX.pkg to $VOYENCE_HOME\custompackage\pkgxml\JuniperERX, creating the directories pkgxml and JuniperERX as necesssary.
   
   
2. Open $VOYENCE_HOME\custompackage\pkgxml\JuniperERX\JuniperERX.pkg for editing
    
3. Around line 352 there is a ConfigurationUnit line for the binary config:
   <ConfigurationUnit type="ConfigFile" revisionable="true" cuid="binary"...
    
4. To comment out this ConfigurationUnit, add comment lines like so:
   
   <!--
   <ConfigurationUnit type="ConfigFile" revisionable="true" cuid="binary" display-name="binary" snmp_supported="false" required-for-completeness="true">
               <File activate-on-reload="true" category-ref="JuniperERXBinaryConfig" name="binary" primary="true" recurse="false" rollback="true" default="true"/>
               <PullMechanisms>
                   <PullMechanism>6</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism default="true">8</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism>5</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism>7</PullMechanism>
                  </PullMechanisms>
               <Destinations>
                   <DestRef configlet-supported="false" name="binary-config" rollback="true" default="true"/>
               </Destinations>
             </ConfigurationUnit
   -->
   
5. After saving your changes, restart the following services
   
   Application Server:
   Restart NCM_Controldaemon, NCM_CommMgr, NCM_AutoDisc
   Device Server(s):
   Restart NCM_CommMgr, NCM_AutoDisc

Linux and Solaris:

1. Copy $VOYENCE_HOME/package/pkgxml/JuniperERX/JuniperERX.pkg to $VOYENCE_HOME/custompackage/pkgxml/JuniperERX, creating the directories pkgxml and JuniperERX as necesssary
   
2. Open $VOYENCE_HOME/custompackage/pkgxml/JuniperERX/JuniperERX.pkg for editing
    
3. Around line 352 there is a ConfigurationUnit line for the binary config:
   <ConfigurationUnit type="ConfigFile" revisionable="true" cuid="binary"...
    
4. To comment out this ConfigurationUnit, add comment lines like so:
   
   <!--
   <ConfigurationUnit type="ConfigFile" revisionable="true" cuid="binary" display-name="binary" snmp_supported="false" required-for-completeness="true">
               <File activate-on-reload="true" category-ref="JuniperERXBinaryConfig" name="binary" primary="true" recurse="false" rollback="true" default="true"/>
               <PullMechanisms>
                   <PullMechanism>6</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism default="true">8</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism>5</PullMechanism>
                   <PullMechanism>7</PullMechanism>
                  </PullMechanisms>
               <Destinations>
                   <DestRef configlet-supported="false" name="binary-config" rollback="true" default="true"/>
               </Destinations>
             </ConfigurationUnit
   -->
   
5. After saving your changes, restart the following services
   
   Application Server:
   /etc/init.d/sysadmin stop
   /etc/init.d/voyence stop
   /etc/init.d/controldaemon restart
   /etc/init.d/voyence start
   /etc/init.d/sysadmin start
   Device Server(s):
   /etc/init.d/sysadmin stop
   /etc/init.d/voyence restart
   /etc/init.d/sysadmin start

Additional Information

$VOYENCE_HOME refers to the directory where VoyenceControl has been installed, typically /opt/Voyence in Linux and Solaris and C:\Program Files\VoyenceControl in Windows.

Existing binary configuration units saved within devices' history will not be removed from VoyenceControl.
