Remove the Broker component by using the graphical
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 graphical
interface and alternative interfaces available, see How to install and uninstall the Broker component.
To start the graphical interface
of the uninstaller, complete the following steps:
- 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.
- On Windows, Linux on x86, and Linux on x86-64, end all active sessions of
the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
- 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.
- 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. The uninstaller mode can be overridden
on the command line by specifying the -i swing, -i
console, or -i silent flags. However, the -i
swing flag is optional for the GUI interface; the uninstaller
defaults to GUI mode when no flag is specified. Run the following
command from outside the installation directory, specifying the full
path. This method of invocation ensures that the full directory structure
is removed during uninstallation. Where install_dir is
the home directory of your WebSphere Message
Broker installation:
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.
Alternatively,
if you have a single installation of the Broker component on Windows, you can navigate to . Select WebSphere Message
Broker and
click Change/Remove.
The
uninstaller graphical interface opens.
- Follow the prompts to complete uninstallation.
