Uninstall databases in silent mode

Remove databases with the database wizard in silent mode.

Ensure the wizard has created the response.properties file in...

user_settings/lcWizard/response/dbWizard

To create a response file, run the wizard in standard mode and specify that you would like to create a response file. We can modify the existing response file or create our own, using a text editor.

To remove databases in silent mode:

1. (DB2 on Windows 2008 64-bit.) On Windows 2008, perform DB2 administration tasks with full administrator privileges.

   1. Logged in as the instance owner, open a command prompt and change to the DB2 bin directory.
      C:\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN

   2. Enter the following command: db2cwadmin.bat.

      This command opens the DB2 command line processor while also setting the DB2 privileges.

2. From the command prompt, change to the directory where the wizard is located.

3. Launch the wizard ...
   ./dbWizard.sh -silent response_file

   where response_file is the file path to the response file.

   If the path to the response_file contains a space, this parameter must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").

What to do next

After the wizard has finished, check the log file in the Lotus_Connections_set-up_directory/Wizards/DBWizard directory for messages. The log file name uses the time as a postfix. For example: dbConfig_20101228_202501.log.
