Uninstall enterprise applications using the console

After an application no longer is needed, we can uninstall it.

This topic assumes that we have installed an enterprise application on a server and to delete the application from the server. Uninstalling an application deletes the application from the product configuration repository and deletes the application binaries from the file system of all nodes where the application modules are installed.

  1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications in the dmgr console navigation tree to access the Enterprise applications page.

  2. If we need to retain a copy of the application, back up the application.

    1. Select the application to uninstall.

    2. Click Export.

    WAS v8.5 exports the application to an enterprise application (.ear) file, preserving the binding information.

  3. Uninstall the application.

    1. Select the application to uninstall.

    2. Click Uninstall.

    3. On the Uninstall application page, click OK.

  4. Save changes made to the administrative configuration.
