Uninstall Liberty interim fixes from IBM i operating systems using the command line
We can use the IBM Installation Manager command-line function to remove interim fixes from WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core.
Use this procedure whenever to remove an interim fix from the system using the command line.
We can also uninstall interim fixes using silent response files with Installation Manager. For information on creating and using response files, read Install Liberty fix packs on IBM i operating systems using response files and the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.
- Sign on to the IBM i system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
- Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core installation.
- On a CL command line, run the STRQSH command to start the Qshell command shell.
- Make sure that the umask is set to 022.
