# This is the silent install response file for uninstalling maintenance packages
# using the update installer.
# 
# A common use of an options file is to run the wizard in silent mode. This lets
# the options file author specify wizard settings without having to run the
# wizard in graphical or console mode. To use this options file for silent mode
# execution, *uncomment* and modify the parameters defined within.
#
# Use the following command line when running the wizard from the update 
# installer directory:
# 
#    update -options responsefiles/uninstall.txt -silent
#
# Please enclose all values within a single pair of double quotes.

# Used to input the maintenance backup package filename to be uninstalled. 
# This is the same filename as the package that was originally installed.
# A maintenance package can only be uninstalled if a backup package exists.
#
# ie. -W backup.package="PQ20029.pak"
#
#
 If no package is specified, a default of the last installed maintenance 
#       package will be used.
#
-W backup.package="6.1.0.1-WEBSV-FEP-WinX32-FP000001.pak"

# Used to modify the product install location that will be updated. 
# This value should be left commented out if the Update Installer is 
# being run from the recommended location
#
# ie. -W product.location="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"
#
#
 WAS install location needs to be specified, and it needs to 
#       be the full path.
#
-W product.location="D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServerNonroot3"

#
# AIX Non-root User Limitation
#
# The AIX user account running the Update Installer program also must be able to 
# run the slibclean command; otherwise, a root user must run the slibclean command
# before the Update Installer program runs. 
#
# Uncomment the following option to notify the installer that a root user has run
# the slibclean command before the Update Installer program runs.
#
#-OPT rootUserHasRunSlibcleanCommandSuccessfully="true"
