(iseries)Uninstall the Application Client from IBM i operating systems using the command line
We can uninstall the Application Client using the Installation Manager command line.
- Sign on to the IBM i system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
- On a CL command line, run the STRQSH command to start the Qshell command shell.
- Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
- Use the imcl command to uninstall the offering.
For example:
./imcl uninstall com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v85,optional_feature_ID -installationDirectory installation_directoryWe can remove a list of features that are separated by commas. If a list of features is not specified, the entire product is uninstalled. In the following list, the optional feature IDs are enclosed in parentheses:
- Standalone Thin Clients, Resource Adapters, and Embeddable Containers
IBM thin clients and resource adapters provide a set of clients and resource adapters for a variety of technologies, such as JAX-WS, JAX-RPC, JAX-RS, XML, EJB, JPA, JMS, and more. An embeddable container runs in a standalone Java Platform, Standard Edition environment. For example, we can use the embeddable EJB container to run enterprise beans outside the application server.
- Standalone Thin Clients Runtime (standalonethinclient.resourceadapter.runtime)
This option installs the runtime for standalone thin clients.
- Embeddable EJB Container (embeddablecontainer)
This option installs the embeddable EJB container.
The embeddable EJB container is a Java Archive (JAR) file that we can use to run enterprise beans in a standalone Java Platform, Standard Edition environment. We can run enterprise beans using this embeddable container outside the application server. The embeddable EJB container is a part of the EJB 3.1 specification and is primarily used for unit testing enterprise beans business logic.
For more information on using the imcl command to uninstall the product, see the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center or the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
