Uninstall manually on IBM i

If the uninstallation program is not present or a stopped installation did not create a complete and functional uninstallation program, we can manually uninstall IBM WebSphere Portal.

Manually uninstall WebSphere Portal

1. Stop the servers:

   • stopServer WebSphere_Portal -username wpadmin -password foo, from the WP_PROFILE/bin directory

   • stopServer cw_profile -profileName cw_profile -username wpadmin -password foo, from the WAS_HOME/bin directory

2. Verify there are no other installations or uninstallations running.

3. Uninstall WAS

4. Delete the /tmp/iseries directory, which is a temporarily copied IBM i WAS install image during the WAS installation, if you ran the installation using a remote Windows workstation.

5. Delete the PORTAL_HOME directory tree and the WP_PROFILE directory tree.

6. Optional: After uninstalling WebSphere Portal and WAS, we can also delete Installation Manager. Run the ./uninstallc command, located in the qibm/userdata/InstallationManager/uninstall directory.
