Uninstalling WebSphere MQ

 

This topic describes how to uninstall WebSphere MQ for AIX using the System Management Interface Tool (smit).

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Use the endmqm command to stop any running queue managers.

  3. Stop any listeners associated with the queue managers, using the command: 
    endmqlsr -m QMgrName

  4. To display the appropriate panel, use the following sequence: 
      Software Installation and Maintenance
    Software Maintenance and Utilities
      Remove Installed Software
    Alternatively, use a fastpath command (smitty install_remove).

  5. Press F4 to list the software in the SOFTWARE name field.

  6. Select the filesets to uninstall from the list (those beginning with mqm), and pressEnter. There is an option at this stage to do a preview.

  7. Press Enter on the Remove Installed Software panel, it will ask whether you are sure, press Enter.

If for any reason the product was not properly installed, you will have to delete the files and directories contained in /usr/mqm. Unless you are planning to reinstall, after uninstalling WebSphere MQ, delete the /var/mqm directory tree.
