Uninstalling applications

Why and when to perform this task

After an application no longer is needed, you can uninstall it. Uninstalling an application deletes the application from the WebSphere Application Server configuration repository and it deletes the application binaries from the file system of all nodes where the application modules are installed.

Steps for this task

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications in the administrative console navigation tree to access the Enterprise Applications page.
  2. Stop the application. Select the application you want uninstalled and click Stop.
  3. Back up the application. Select the application you want uninstalled and click Export to export the application to an EAR file and preserve the binding information.
  4. Select the application you want uninstalled and click Uninstall.
  5. Click Save on the console taskbar to save changes made to the administrative configuration.

Results

In the single-server (base) product, application binaries are deleted after you click Save. In the Network Deployment product, application binaries are deleted when configuration changes on the deployment manager synchronize with configurations for individual nodes.
