Skill-Uninstall Arguments
Argument Description
-n | - -name Name of the skill to uninstall from the Model Manager.
- -repository (Optional) The root URI of the Model Manager, for example, http://hostname/repository. Default is
specified in the CloudUtil config file in the repositoryAddress key under the <appSettings>
