Uninstalling Application Client for WebSphere Application Server

This task describes using the uninstaller program to uninstall the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server.

 

Before you begin

Before uninstalling, verify that you have no open Web browsers that are accessing the administrative console.

If you want to uninstall Application Clients manually, see the topic, Manually uninstalling on a Windows system.

 

Procedure

  1. Stop any browsers and any Java processes related to WebSphere Application Server products as described in Uninstalling the product.

  2. Change directories to the _uninst directory before issuing the uninstall command. The command file is located in the install_root/product/_uninst directory on a Linux or UNIX platform, and in the install_root\product\_uninst directory on a Windows system.

    For example, to change directories before uninstalling the product from a Linux platform, issue this command if your installation root is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer

    cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/product/_uninst
    
    

  3. Issue the uninstaller command. The command file is named uninstaller.bin for Linux and UNIX platforms and uninstaller.exe on Windows platforms.

    On Linux and UNIX platforms, issue the uninstaller.bin command from the install_root/product/_uninst directory

    ./uninstaller.bin
    

    On Windows platforms, call the uninstaller.exe command

    install_root\product\_uninst\uninstaller.exe
    

    Call the program directly from the install_root\product\_uninst directory. For example, if the installation root is C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer, issue the following command

    C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\product\_uninst> uninstaller.exe
    

    The Uninstaller wizard begins and displays the Welcome panel.

  4. Click Next to begin uninstalling the product. The Uninstaller wizard displays a Confirmation panel that lists the product and features that you are uninstalling.

  5. Click Next to continue uninstalling the product. The Uninstaller wizard deletes existing profiles first.

    After deleting profiles, the Uninstaller wizard deletes core product files by component.

  6. Click Finish to close the wizard after the wizard removes the product.

 

Result

Application Client for WAS is uninstalled.

 

What to do next

Verify the uninstall procedure by viewing the install_root/product/logs/uninstlog.txt log file for errors. Look for the INSTCONFSUCCESS, indicating a successful uninstall in the log file

Uninstall, com.ibm.ws.install.ni.ismp.actions.ISMPLogSuccessMessageAction, msg1, 
   INSTCONFSUCCESS
