Removing a pilot deployment

Uninstall a pilot deployment of IBM Lotus Connections.


If you plan to migrate from the pilot to a production deployment, perform the migration before completing this procedure. For more information, see the Migrating a pilot deployment topic.

If you want to remove only a subset of Lotus Connections features, complete the steps in the Removing features from a pilot deployment topic.


Use the pilot uninstallation wizard to remove the pilot deployment and supporting software from the system. The wizard removes Lotus Connections and IBM WebSphere Application Server. It also removes IBM DB2 Express™ Edition, but leaves the feature databases on the system. You can remove the databases after you migrate to a production deployment or decide that you no longer need the data.

Do not remove WebSphere Application Server or DB2 before removing Lotus Connections. You might not be able to remove the pilot features from the system if these supporting software products are no longer installed. To remove the pilot deployment...

This procedure assumes that you installed the pilot to the default directories, such as C:\Program Files\IBM\LotusConnections.

  1. Stop the instance of WebSphere Application Server that is hosting the pilot deployment.

  2. Stop all DB2-related processes that are running on the server. From the Start menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, and then look for DB2-related processes. To stop a process, right-click the service, and then click Stop.

  3. From the where you installed the pilot, expand the uninstall directory, and double-click the uninstall.bat file.

  4. Specify the language to use for the uninstallation wizard, and then click OK.

  5. On the Welcome page, click Next.

  6. Select the check box next to each feature, and then select the check boxes for the prerequisite software. Click Next. You are prompted with the following message: "Selection to uninstall the prerequisite software means all features installed will be uninstalled. Do you want to continue?" Click Yes. Another message reminds you to back up and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

  7. Review the summary page. Click Back to return to previous pages and make changes, or click Next to continue.

  8. After the features are removed, click Next. The prerequisite software is removed next.

    Review the messages that are generated during the removal process by opening the lcuninstalllog.txt log file from the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp

  9. Optional: To remove any remaining artifacts of the pilot deployment from the system...

    1. Delete the C:\DB2

    2. Delete the Windows DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS group IDs.

    3. Delete the Windows lcuser user ID.

      If you specified non-default users or groups for Lotus Connections, delete those users, groups, and any associated directories.

    4. Restart the system.

    5. Delete the C:\Documents and Settings\lcuser

    6. Delete the C:\Program Files\IBM\LotusConnections

  10. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
