Uninstalling the product code

You can run the imcl Installation Manager command in command-line mode to uninstall copies of the IBM BPM for z/OS product code from the product file system.

When you log in to the UNIX System Services shell to run the imcl command, you must do so with the user ID that was used to create the Installation Manager instance, or with a user ID that is connected to the default group for the user ID that created the instance.


Procedure

  1. Mount the file system that contains the IBM BPM product code to be uninstalled. The mount point must be the location used when the product code was installed using Installation Manager.

  2. Log in to the UNIX System Services shell using the Installation Manager user ID.
  3. Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the location where the Installation Manager binary files are stored.

    For example:

    cd /InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools

  4. To identify the package ID of the IBM BPM code to be uninstalled, run the imcl listInstalledPackages command as follows:

    imcl listInstalledPackages -long

    Tip: Make a note of the relevant package ID (for example, com.ibm.bpm.ZOSPS.V80) because you must specify it when you uninstall.

  5. Run the imcl command using the following syntax:

    imcl uninstall packageID -installationDirectory installation_directory

    where:

    uninstall

    Specifies the package ID of the IBM BPM product code to be uninstalled.

    Tip: To uninstall a specific version of the product, you can add an underscore with the version to the package ID; for example, com.ibm.bpm.ZOSPS.V80_8.0.0.20120610_0105.

    If you do not specify a version, the latest version of the package is uninstalled.

    -installationDirectory

    Specifies the mount point of the file system that contains the product code.

    For example:

    imcl uninstall com.ibm.bpm.ZOSPS.V80 -installationDirectory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R0

    For more information about the imcl parameters, see Command-line arguments for imcl in the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

    Only the IBM BPM product code is uninstalled. The WebSphere Application Server product code remains in the product file system.

  6. To confirm that the uninstallation completed without any errors, review the log file in the logs subdirectory in the location where the Installation Manager agent data is stored.

  7. If no longer required, uninstall WebSphere Application Server and Installation Manager:

    1. Uninstall any packages that might have a dependency on WebSphere Application Server before uninstalling WebSphere Application Server. To uninstall WebSphere Application Server, see Uninstalling the product on z/OS in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Information Center.
    2. Uninstall Installation Manager only after uninstalling all packages that were installed with that Installation Manager instance. To uninstall Installation Manager, see Uninstalling Installation Manager silently in the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.


What to do next

If you no longer require the IBM BPM for z/OS product repository, you can also remove it from the System Modification Program/Extended (SMP/E) installation location.
