IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Uninstall the Windows System Monitor Agent
There is a separate procedure for uninstalling the System Monitor Agent that monitors the Windows operating system and deleting the directory where it is stored.
Issue the following command:
%CANDLE_HOME%\InstallITM\uninstall.cmd [-f]You are prompted to confirm your request to uninstall the agent. Respond Y to continue the uninstallation.
The -f option forces the uninstallation command to bypass the confirmation prompt.
If the command is invoked while the current working directory is %CANDLE_HOME%\InstallITM, the directory is not deleted; you must delete it manually.
- Uninstall the Windows operating system agent also uninstalls all Agent Builder agents installed in the same environment.
- Directories are not removed on Microsoft Windows systems if the command that attempts to remove it is running from the directory being removed or if a file is locked within that directory. Thus, if you run uninstall.cmd from %CANDLE_HOME%\BIN, the directory is not removed; you must remove it yourself.
Before running uninstall.cmd, it is recommended that you first close all processes (such as command prompts and text editors) currently accessing subdirectories of %CANDLE_HOME%. Then run the uninstall.cmd command from outside of %CANDLE_HOME%. Specify a fully qualified path.
If uninstall.cmd cannot remove a subdirectory, it displays the following message:
directory may have to be removed manually after this script completes.This same message also is written to the uninstallation log file:
%TEMP%\IBM_Tivoli_Monitoring_System_Monitor_Agent_uninstall.log
