Fix Recommendation

If any components are required for operation of applications that will be accessing the DBMS, include them in the system documentation.

To uninstall and unused package (using ppas-odbc-devel-09.03.0400.02-1.rhel7.x86_64 as an example), execute the following command as root:

yum erase -y ppas-odbc-devel-09.03.0400.02-1.rhel7.x86_64

Check Contents

Review the list of components and features installed with the database.

If unused components are installed and are not documented and authorized, this is a finding.

RPM can also be used to check to see what is installed:

yum list installed | grep ppas

This returns EDB database packages that have been installed. If any packages displayed by this command are not being used, this is a finding.
