Removing a Hierarchy Level

Removing a hierarchy level equates to deleting a target property, which in turn causes groups at that level to be deleted. For this reason, think carefully about the groups that will be removed when you remove the hierarchy level, especially if those groups are used in other functional areas of Enterprise Manager.

To remove a hierarchy level:

  1. On the Administration Group page, click the Hierarchy tab.
  2. From the Hierarchy Levels table, select a hierarchy level and click Remove
  3. Click Update to save your changes.

If any of those groups have an associated template collection, then the monitoring settings of the subgroups of the deleted group will be impacted since the subgroups obtained monitoring settings from the associated template collection. You may need to review the remaining template collections and re-associate the template collection with the appropriate administration group.
