FileNet P8 Workplace XT, Version 1.1.5       Application server:  WebSphere Application Server     

Removing Workplace XT on WebSphere Application Server

To remove Workplace XT on WebSphere® Application Server, you must first undeploy the Web application, then remove the software files. You must also remove any add-on products that work with Workplace XT before you remove the Workplace XT files.

This task includes Workplace XT removal instructions for WebSphere Application Server on UNIX and Windows platforms.

If you are using an add-on product with Workplace XT, you must remove that product before you remove Workplace XT. Collect any additional installation and upgrade documentation, including the Content Engine and Process Engine readme files, before beginning this procedure.

To remove the Workplace XT software:

  1. Log in to the server.
    Option Description
    UNIX Log in as a user with write access the directory where Workplace XT is installed.
    Windows Log in as a user with Administrative rights.
  2. Log in to the WebSphere administrative console.
  3. Undeploy the Workplace XT application.
    1. Stop the Workplace XT Web application in the administrative console.
    2. Uninstall the Workplace XT Web application from Enterprise Applications.
    3. Save changes to the master configuration.
  4. Shut down WebSphere.
  5. If you're running the Component Manager, stop the instances and exit the Process Task Manager.
  6. Remove any IBM® FileNet® P8 add-on products, such as IBM FileNet eForms for P8, that you are using with Workplace XT.

    For details, see the installation and upgrade documentation for each product.

  7. Navigate to the /_WCuninst folder under the IBM FileNet Workplace XT installation location. The default location is:
    Option Description
    UNIX /opt/IBM/FileNet/WebClient/_WCuninst
    Windows C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\WebClient\_WCuninst
  8. Run the Workplace XT uninstaller program:
    Option Description
    UNIX

    uninstaller.bin

    Windows

    uninstaller.exe

    Reboot or log out as prompted during the removal process.

    Tip: For Windows, you can also use Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel to remove Workplace XT.

    On Windows, when you click Next on the Welcome screen, the second screen asks you to wait while Windows Task Manager service shuts down before continuing the uninstall. This can take a few moments. Wait for the shutdown to complete, then complete the uninstall wizard from the next screen.

  9. Delete the temporary working directory for Workplace XT on the application server: WAS_HOME/temp/node_name/application_server_name/WorkplaceXT
  10. Remove some or all of the Content Engine client and Process Engine client directories and files, depending on your environment:
    • If Workplace XT is the only FileNet P8 application installed on the server, delete the install_path/IBM/FileNet directory.
      Important: Do not delete everything in the install_path/IBM/FileNet path unless you are sure that no other FileNet P8 application, such as Application Engine, is located on the same server.
    • If other FileNet P8 applications are installed on the server, delete only the WebClient directories in the following locations:

      install_path/IBM/FileNet/WebClient

      install_path/IBM/FileNet/Config/WebClient

  11. (UNIX) Remove the P8TASKMAN_HOME system environment variable.

    If Workplace XT is the only FileNet P8 application running on the server you must remove the P8TASKMAN_HOME system environment variable to complete the application removal.

    Important: Do not remove the system environment variable if any other FileNet P8 application is installed on the server.
  12. (UNIX only) Delete the following Install Shield directory, which can cause errors when you reinstall Workplace XT:

    /InstallShield/Universal/IBM/FileNet/WebClient

    For AIX®, the path is as follows:

    /usr/lib/objrepos/InstallShield/Universal/FileNet/WebClient
