Uninstalling the Broker component by using the console interface

Remove the Broker component by using the console interface.

Always use the WebSphere® Message Broker uninstallation wizard to remove the Broker component, unless otherwise stated. Do not use the uninstallation program that is provided by the operating system; for example, geninstall on AIX®, or swremove on HP-UX.

For information about the console interface and alternative interfaces available, see How to install and uninstall the Broker component.

To start the console interface of the uninstaller, complete the following steps:

  1. Stop all running processes that are associated with brokers before you uninstall. Use the mqsilist command to check which brokers are running. Use the mqsistop command to stop each broker.
  2. On Windows, Linux on x86, and Linux on x86-64, end any active sessions of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
  3. If you do not plan to reinstall brokers on this computer, delete all the brokers that are associated with this installation by using the mqsideletebroker command. When you delete a broker, all its associated data and resources are deleted.
  4. By default, the uninstaller launches in the graphical, console, or silent mode previously used to install the Broker component. For example, if the installation uses the silent interface, the uninstaller defaults to using the silent interface. However, the uninstaller mode can be overridden on the command line by specifying the -i swing, -i console, or -i silent flags. Run the uninstallation program from outside the installation directory, specifying the full path to ensure that the folders are removed during uninstallation, where install_dir is the home directory of your WebSphere Message Broker installation:
    • On Windows:
      \install_dir\Uninstaller\Uninstaller.exe -i console
    • On distributed operating systems:
      /install_dir/Uninstaller/Uninstaller -i console
    If you accepted the default location during installation, this directory is as follows. The default directory includes the version, release, modification, and fix of the product that you are installing in the format v.r.m.f (version.release.modification.fix):
    Linux
    /opt/ibm/mqsi/v.r.m.f
    UNIX
    /opt/IBM/mqsi/v.r.m.f
    Windows 32-bit
    C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f
    Windows 64-bit
    C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for the 64-bit version of WebSphere Message Broker
    C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for the 32-bit version of WebSphere Message Broker
    These locations define the default value of install_dir on each platform.
  5. When started, the uninstaller displays the location from which the uninstaller will remove the Broker component. Press Enter to confirm that you want to uninstall the product and that the location it is uninstalling from is correct. The uninstallation starts. A brief message displays when the uninstallation is complete.
