6.6.1.3.3: Uninstalling applications with the Web console

During this task, you will uninstall the application files (.ear, .jar, and .war) from the product directory structure and remove the application configuration.

To remove an application:

  1. Stop the application.
  2. Expand the tree on the left side of the console to locate Nodes -> hostname -> Enterprise Applications.
  3. Click Enterprise Applications.

    The right side of the console will display the list of zero or more installed applications (as .ear files).

  4. Select the application by clicking the check box to the left of the application name.
  5. Click the Uninstall button displayed on the right side of the console, above the list of installed applications.
  6.   Export the application before uninstalling it, in order to save the application bindings and other configuration settings from when you previously installed the application.

  7. Follow the instructions on the resulting task wizard for uninstalling the application.
  8. Verify that the application has been removed from the list of applications located at Nodes -> hostname -> Enterprise Applications.
  9. Stop the server.
  10. Manually delete the directory corresponding to the application as described in article 6.4.2 of the InfoCenter.

    The directories were not deleted automatically during the earlier uninstallation step because:

    • Some of the resources might have been in use, because the application server could have been running as you uninstalled the application
    • You might want to back up the files manually after using the console to uninstall the application
