Uninstalling WebSphere Portal Express using the graphical uninstallation program
The uninstall program provides you with the option of uninstalling WebSphere Portal Express only or uninstalling both WebSphere Portal Express and DB2.
Notes:
- You can only perform one uninstallation at a time.
- If install_dir/AppServer/java/bin directory is missing or corrupted, the uninstallation GUI can be launched using a locally installed Java JRE (if one is present). You can check for a Java installation by typing java -version on a command line. Navigate to PortalServer/uninstall/package and typejava -jar uninstall.jar. This will launch the uninstall GUI. If the uninstall GUI is not launched, proceed to the manual removal steps.
The uninstall program removes WebSphere Portal Express and WebSphere Application Server and provides the option of removing DB2. All profiles, including the one used for WebSphere Portal Express, will be removed.
