Uninstalling MQIPT

Follow this procedure to uninstall MQIPT.

Procedure

1. Make appropriate backups in case you later have to restore any data. See Making backups for details.
2. Prevent the system from trying to start MQIPT automatically, if the MQIPT service has been installed.
   • On UNIX and Linux, remove the MQIPT service by changing to the bin directory in the MQIPT installation path, and issuing the following command:

     ./mqiptService -remove

   • On Windows, follow these steps to stop and remove the MQIPT service:
     1. Stop MQIPT from the Windows services panel.
     2. Open an administration command prompt, go to the bin directory in the MQIPT installation path, and enter the command:

        mqiptService -remove

   Note: Only the installation of MQIPT that installed the service can be used to remove it. Attempting to remove the service using a different installation causes error MQCPE083.

3. On Windows platforms, remove the MQIPT icons from the Start menu by clicking the MQIPT icon, Remove these icons on the Start menu.
4. Delete the directory where MQIPT is currently installed. You will need to have root access to the system in order to delete the MQIPT installation directory.
