Uninstalling the full product on Windows

Always use the uninstall wizard to remove WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker from your computer.

  1. Stop all running processes that use any part of WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker (brokers, Configuration Manager, and User Name Server) before uninstalling. Use the mqsilist (list resources) command to check which components are running. Stop each component using the mqsistop command. End all active sessions of the Message Brokers Toolkit.
  2. If you do not plan to reinstall on this computer, delete all the runtime components. When you delete a component, all its associated data and resources are deleted; if you want to retain component data, do not delete that component. Use the following commands to delete one or more components: mqsideletebroker command, mqsideleteconfigmgr command, and mqsideleteusernameserver command.
  3. If you have installed the Message Brokers Toolkit on this system, and intend to uninstall it, consider how you want to handle the resources associated with it. You create and maintain resources in a workspace, which by default exists within the installation directory structure. However, you can choose to store resources in any directory, or in a repository, or both. In all cases, you must manually delete these resources if and when you choose; none are deleted for you when you uninstall the toolkit.

    If you have more than one product on this system that uses an Eclipse-based workbench, you probably have more than one workspace. When you delete resources, check that you delete the correct workspace for the component that you uninstall.
