Uninstall enterprise applications using the wsadmin scripting tool
We can use the AdminApp object or the AdminApplication script library to uninstall applications.
Start wsadmin.sh.
There are two ways to complete this task. This topic uses the AdminApp object to uninstall enterprise applications. Alternatively, you can use the scripts in the AdminApplication script library to install, uninstall, and administer the application configurations.
The scripting library provides a set of procedures to automate the most common administration functions. You can run each script procedure individually, or combine several procedures to quickly develop new scripts.
Procedure
- Uninstall the application:
Specify the name of the application to uninstall, not the name of the enterprise archive (EAR) file.
### Jacl
$AdminApp uninstall application1### Jython
AdminApp.uninstall('application1')
- Save the configuration changes.
Save the configuration changes:
AdminConfig.save()
- Synchronize the node.
Use the syncActiveNodes script from the AdminNodeManagement script library to synchronize each active node in the configuration:
AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()
Results
Uninstall an application removes it from the application server configuration and from each server that the application was installed on. The system deletes the application binaries (EAR file contents) from the installation directory. This occurs when the configuration is saved for single server product versions or when the configuration changes are synchronized from the dmgr to the individual nodes for network deployment configurations.
