Uninstalling Managed File Transfer on IBM i

Follow these instructions to uninstall Managed File Transfer on IBM i.

Before starting

• A standard deletion removes Managed File Transfer product code but preserves user data.
• An entire deletion removes both Managed File Transfer product code and user data.

  Note that an entire deletion requires that you manually remove the configuration data in the /QIBM/UserData/mqm/mqft directory.

Both types of deletion require you to be signed on to the system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority, for example, QSECOFR.

Delete Managed File Transfer for IBM i deletes the objects that belong to it: the QMQMMFT library, and the subdirectories that belong to Managed File Transfer within the /QIBM/ProdData/mqm directory.

Note that licence files are copied to /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/properties/version, and an uninstallation will delete files in this directory. However, files are left in /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/properties/5725M50 as trash. For a clean uninstallation, we must delete the files in this directory.
