This topic describes how to uninstall the fix pack, an interim fix, or a test fix using the silent installation option from the Update Installer.
Use
the Update Installer program from the same user ID that installed
the product that you are updating. Otherwise, the file ownership mismatches
might require correction by the root user. See Using root or non-root when installing with the Update Installer for more information.
The following steps lead you through the process of uninstalling maintenance using the silent mode.
The following response file demonstrates how to uninstall a fix pack in the silent mode.
################################################################################ # # This is the silent install response file for uninstalling maintenance packages # using the update installer. # # A common use of an options file is to run the wizard in silent mode. This lets # the options file author specify wizard settings without having to run the # wizard in graphical or console mode. To use this options file for silent mode # execution, *uncomment* and modify the parameters defined within. # # Use the following command line when running the wizard from the update # installer directory: # # update -options responsefiles/uninstall.txt -silent # # Enclose all values within a single pair of double quotes. # ################################################################################ ################################################################################ # # Used to input the maintenance backup package filename to be uninstalled. # This is the same filename as the package that was originally installed. # A maintenance package can only be uninstalled if a backup package exists. # # For example: -W backup.package="PQ20029.pak" # # Note: If you do not specify a package, then a default of the last installed maintenance # package is used, as the following example demonstrate: # -W backup.package="6.1.0.1-WEBSV-FEP-WinX32-FP000001.pak" ################################################################################ # # Used to modify the product install location that will be updated. # This value should be left commented out if the Update Installer is # being run from the recommended location, as the following example demonstrates: # # For example: -W product.location="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer" # # Note: The product install location needs to be specified, and it needs to # be the full path. # -W product.location="D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServerNonroot3" ################################################################################ # # AIX Non-root user limitation # # The AIX user account running the Update Installer program also must be able to # run the slibclean command; otherwise, a root user must run the slibclean command # before the Update Installer program runs. # # Uncomment the following option to notify the installer that a root user has run # the slibclean command before the Update Installer program runs. # #-OPT rootUserHasRunSlibcleanCommandSuccessfully="true" ################################################################################ # # Do not edit these values. # -W update.type="uninstall"
