Publication item error - how to drop them manually?

Question

I had to alter some tables on the repository and now when I open the publication item it gives an ORA-00904 error saying that some of the identifiers of the table are not valid, which is kind of expected.
The problem is that now, using the mobile workbench, I can't drop these publication items! Is there another way to do this?!

Answer 1

Your classpath should be something like this
CLASSPATH=".:$ORACLE_HOME/mobile/classes/consolidator.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/mobile/server/bin/devmgr.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/mobile/server/bin/webtogo.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:$CLASSPATH"
Try this:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Driver;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.lite.sync.ConsolidatorException;
import oracle.lite.sync.ConsolidatorManager;
public class DropPublicationItem {
    private static Connection con = null;
    public static void main(String arg[]) throws ConsolidatorException,
                                                 SQLException {
        ConsolidatorManager cm = new ConsolidatorManager();
        String MOBILE_SCHEMA   = "mobileadmin";
        String MOBILE_PASSWORD = "passwordstring";
        String JDBC_URL        = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE";
        String PUB_ITEM_NAME = arg[0];
        try {
            DriverManager.registerDriver((Driver)(Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver").newInstance()));
            try {
                con = DriverManager.getConnection(JDBC_URL, MOBILE_SCHEMA, MOBILE_PASSWORD);
            } catch (SQLException sqle) {
                sqle.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return;
        cm.openConnection(con);
        try {
            cm.dropPublicationItem(PUB_ITEM_NAME);
        } catch (ConsolidatorException ce){
            System.out.println("Drop publication item failed: " + ce.getMessage());
}
