Uninstall enterprise applications using wsdmin.sh
We can use the AdminApp object or the AdminApplication script library to uninstall applications.
Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
There are two ways to complete this task. This topic uses the AdminApp object to uninstall enterprise applications. Alternatively, we 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. We can run each script procedure individually, or combine several procedures to quickly develop new scripts.
- Uninstall the application:
Specify the name of the application to uninstall, not the name of the EAR file.
Jacl:
$AdminApp uninstall application1
Jython:
AdminApp.uninstall('application1')
Element Description $ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value AdminApp is an object supporting application objects management uninstall is an AdminApp command application1 is the name of the application to uninstall
- Save the configuration changes.
Use the following command example to save the configuration changes:
AdminConfig.save()
- In a network deployment environment only, 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 deployment manager to the individual nodes for network deployment configurations.
