Uninstalling applications

After an application no longer is needed, you can uninstall it.

Why and when to perform this task

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. If you need to retain a copy of the application, back up the application.
    1. Select the application you want uninstalled.
    2. Click Export.
    The application is exported to an enterprise application (.ear file), preserving the binding information.
  3. Uninstall the application.
    1. Select the application you want uninstalled.
    2. Click Uninstall.
  4. Save changes made to the administrative configuration.

Result

In the single-server product, application binaries are deleted after you save the changes.
