Uninstalling Application Client for WebSphere Application Server feature pack

This task describes using the uninstall program to uninstall the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server.

Before you begin

Note: If you are logged in as a root user and attempt to uninstall an instance of Application Client for WebSphere Application Server that a non-root user installed, the Windows registry will also be wiped clean for the application client instance that the root user installed. If you need to uninstall an instance of application client that a non-root user has installed, be sure that you are logged in as the non-root user.

Procedure

  1. Stop any browsers and any Java processes related to Application Client products.
  2. Change directories to the uninstall directory before issuing the command to uninstall the application client. The command file is located in the uninstall directory.
    • [Windows] app_server_root\product\uninstall directory
    • [Linux] app_server_root/uninstall directory
      For example, to change directories before uninstalling the product from a Linux platform, issue this command if your installation root is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient:
      cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient/uninstall
      
  3. Issue the command to uninstall the product.

    [iSeries] Use the uninstall all command.

    [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] Use the uninstall command.

    [Linux] The command file is named uninstall. Issue the uninstall command from the app_server_root/uninstall directory:
    ./uninstall
    [Windows] The command file is named uninstall.exe. Call the uninstall.exe command from the app_server_root\uninstall directory:
    app_server_root\uninstall\uninstall.exe
    For example, if the installation root is C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient, issue the following command:
    C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppClient\uninstall> uninstall.exe

    The Uninstall wizard begins and displays the Welcome panel.

  4. Click Next to begin uninstalling the product. The Uninstall wizard displays a Confirmation panel that lists the product and features that you are uninstalling.
  5. Click Next to continue uninstalling the product. The Uninstall wizard deletes existing profiles first.

    After deleting profiles, the Uninstall wizard deletes core product files by component.

  6. Click Finish to close the wizard after the wizard removes the product.

Results

Application Client for WebSphere Application Server is uninstalled.

What to do next

Verify the uninstall procedure by viewing the app_server_root/logs/uninstall/log.txt file for errors. Look for the INSTCONFSUCCESS, indicating a successful uninstall in the log file:
Uninstall, com.ibm.ws.install.ni.ismp.actions.ISMPLogSuccessMessageAction, msg1, 
   INSTCONFSUCCESS
The uninstaller program records uninstallation events in the uninstallation log files. Examine messages that the uninstallation program displays. If the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server does not uninstall successfully, read the messages to identify why the uninstallation failed. Correct the problems identified and try uninstalling the product again.
Tip: If you are logged in as non-root or non-admin user, the uninstall may not be successful. When the uninstaller program runs, a log file is created in your home directory. If the uninstaller program fails, an attempt is made to move the log to the app_server_root directory; however, without the necessary permission to move the file to the app_server_root directory, the attempt to move fails and the log remains in your home directory. Look for the following log files in the user_home/waslogs directory:
  • log.txt
  • trace.txt.gz
  • trace.xml.gz
