Removing IBM Content Search Services silently

You can remove IBM® Content Search Services silently by setting the uninstallation value in an input response file and running the uninstallation program from a command line.

Before you begin

The IBM Content Search Services interactive uninstallation program removes IBM Content Search Services servers from the system individually. Running the silent uninstallation program removes IBM Content Search Services in its entirety.

  1. Log on to the host computer as css_install_user.
  2. Open the css_install_path/_cssuninst/installvariables.properties file.
  3. Go to the SILENT_UNINSTALL_ALL line and set the value to TRUE.
  4. Save the edited response file to your temporary directory.
  5. Go to the temporary directory on your local disk.
  6. Run the IBM Content Search Services uninstallation program by running the appropriate command:
    Table 1. Silent uninstallation commands
    Platform Command

    Linux for System z css_uninstaller -i silent -f installvariables.properties
