Uninstall a payment plug-in
To remove a payment plug-in from use, you can do two things:
- Disable the payment plug-in so the WebSphere Commerce Payments does not attempt to use it. This disables the payment plug-in but does not completely remove it from the system. The WebSphere Commerce EAR (WebSphere Application Server) will still load the JAR file (EJB module) for the plug-in.
- Remove any references to the plug-in from the Payment system plug-in mapping XML file.
- Remove the payment plug-in directory from the plugins directory:
- Remove the plug-in JAR file from the WebSphere Commerce instance.ear directory. This removes the plug-in from the system. The WebSphere Commerce Payments will not be aware of the plug-in, and the WebSphere Commerce EAR will not load the JAR file.
To completely remove a payment plug-in, do both steps.
Disable a WebSphere Commerce payment plug-in
To disable a payment plug-in from WebSphere Commerce:
- Stop WebSphere Commerce.
- Remove the plug-in name from the Payment system plug-in mapping XML file.
- If necessary, remove the payment system name from the PaymentMethodConfigurations XML file and RefundMethodConfigurations XML file (or configure the payment system plug-in mapping XML file to map to another payment plug-in, if appropriate).
- Restart WebSphere Commerce.
The removal of the plug-in name from these files will ensure that the plug-in is not used by the WebSphere Commerce Payments.
