Uninstalling IBM BPM silently

You can use the command-line mode of the Installation Manager to uninstall IBM BPM.

Close all programs that installed using the Installation Manager.

To uninstall, you must log in to the system using the same user account that you used to install.


Procedure

To silently uninstall IBM BPM, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt, and change directories to the /eclipse/tools directory under Installation Manager.

    If you are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator.

  2. Make the appropriate replacements and run the following command: 
    imcl uninstall  list_of_product_IDs -installationDirectory  installationDirectory -log  logLocation -properties  optionalProperties

    1. Replace list_of_product_IDs with a list of the IDs for the products you want to uninstall, separated by spaces.

      The DB2 Express installation might be used by multiple products, including products on a remote system. If you uninstall DB2 Express, all DB2 Express databases and database assets are deleted.
