• Otherwise, the whole procedure needs to be repeated on each individual cluster node.

Existing data

On the removal of the extension, all OSLC data remains present in both Windchill and the OSLC Remote Application. However, Collaboration Links will no longer be visible in the Windchill system, and will no longer be navigable in the OSLC remote applicatoin.
