How can one edit or remove entries in the Partial Repository of a Queue Manager once we have removed it from the cluster?

at your own risk... !!!

kill the amqrrmfa process for that queuemanager,
this will release the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.REPOSITORY.QUEUE
clear this queue, end your queuemanager and re-start.

provided you took out all cluster related channel definitions, this queuemanager is now completely 'cluster' unaware...

MichaelDag,

Before I try this, would you explain "At your own risk!!!"

What am I risking?

And, after clearing the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.REPOSITORY.QUEUE, am I correct in assuming that I need to restart the queue manager in order to restart the "dead" process?

well it's a disclaimer...

I tried it on one of our test systems and it worked, this however never gives you a guarantee... nor is it officially supported by IBM...

the restart is indeed to properly restart the 'dead' process.

"At your own risk" means that people like me are speaking from experience. I've tried this "trick" and ended up shooting myself in the foot a few times. Ending up with "ghost" queues that couldn't be deleted, etc. As you would expect, the repository queue is where the qmgr stores information about all the objects it knows about in the cluster. Clearing it seems to trip up the qmgr sometimes when it attempts to reconstruct the queue from scratch.

Thanks for the clarification, Brandon.

It's good to know what the risks are going in...
