This answer is more like the one I've already got for a ticket open for similar reasons.
I would be very interested in having this feature since the situation I'm in is quite hilarious. My Spectrum 9 was installed on top of a 8.1 database and I ended up having around 10k attributes on every device type (except containers and pingable-like). Indeed it might not cause memory problems but having 10k attributes instead of around 3000 is very annoying. My only option at this time is to start building the database from scratch. What can you do though is: - export your topology using the modelling gateway - get a clean Spectrum install (if possible) - don't use any of your database save - import your topology into the fresh install (do not import your catalog) And you should be fine. I said a fresh install because I don't have any idea at the moment about how can you clean the MIBs already loaded. This is my idea. I might be wrong - maybe there is another way, easier - but this is what I could think. Good luck, Regards, Eugen NAIMAN ________________________________ From: Kupershmidt, Oleg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 2 March 2010 1:41 AM To: spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] How to remove MIB Here is a correction from our development team: You cannot use MTE to remove the attributes imported via MIB Tools unless you have the associated Developer ID loaded into your Database catalog. The Developer ID in this case is owned by CA. It is correct though that it does not cause additional memory usage, but may undoubtedly cause confusion. So, today, there is currently no way to do this. You can, however, remove trap mappings very easily by using MIB Tools. We are tracking this requirement and if anyone other than Gasper is interested in this feature, please let me know you company name.

We import custom MIB, but after that we found out, that this device was already certified, so we have doubled attributes and events. Now we would like to remove this MIB we imported. Do someone knows, how to do that? you need the MTE for that and simply remove the modeltype(s) which hold the attributes of the MIB. To remove a modeltype just remove all its base modeltypes and it will be gone. Note: it doesn't really matter if you have the attributes multiple times in your catalogue. Attributes will only be loaded into memory if they are used. But of course it is confusing...
