Prepare to uninstall a single server on Solaris
Before uninstalling WebSphere Portal, prepare system; for example, adding passwords to the properties files and keeping or discarding database information.
To prepare for uninstallation:
- Optional. Make a backup of the WebSphere Portal configuration using the XML Configuration Interface.
The following information is not backed up and will be deleted if you delete the database:
- User attributes that are stored in the database and not in the user registry
- Credential data that is stored in the default vault implementation
- Add passwords to wkplc.properties, wkplc_dbdomain.properties, and wkplc_dbtype.properties, located in the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/properties directory, or specify passwords on the command line.
- Decide whether to keep database as is to preserve WebSphere Portal information or perform the following steps to remove the information from the database:
If you choose to keep the database information, you cannot use it with subsequent installations although you can still access the information through database software. Also, if you keep the information, you can always delete the WebSphere Portal databases and database tables later using database software.
- Run the ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo from the WP_PROFILE/bin directory.
- Run the ./ConfigEngine.sh remove-schema -DWasPassword=foo -Drelease.DbPassword=foo -Dcustomization.DbPassword=foo -Dcommunity.DbPassword=foo -Djcr.DbPassword=foo -Dfeedback.DbPassword=foo -Dlikeminds.DbPassword=foo task from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine to remove all database tables.
Some tables may remain in the IBM Java™ Content Repository database. Removing the database will remove these tables.
