Uninstalling the feature pack on IBM i

You can uninstall a feature pack product by running the feature pack uninstall command from your IBM i server.

Before you begin

The uninstall command calls the uninstaller program that is created during installation. The uninstaller program is customized for each product installation, with specific disk locations and routines for removing installed features.

Uninstall any feature packs first before you uninstall the application server. If you have a feature pack installed, then uninstalling the WebSphere Application Server product using the uninstaller program causes the feature pack to stop working. However, you should still uninstall the feature pack after uninstalling the application server to remove all feature pack product entries and artifacts which might prevent a successful reinstallation. See Troubleshooting for more information. This same limitation applies if you are uninstalling a customized installation package (CIP) created with the Installation Factory.

About this task

Use this procedure to uninstall a feature pack from a WebSphere Application Server for IBM i installation.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IBM i system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority.
  2. Stop all processes for the application server product for which you are uninstalling the feature pack.

    Stop the application server and any other product processes. For example, for the Network Deployment product, stop the deployment manager, the node agent, and all application server processes.

  3. Verify that the host server jobs have started on your IBM i server.

    The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on IBM i. On a CL command line, enter the following command:

    STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)
  4. Uninstall the feature pack from your WebSphere Application Server for IBM i installation on your IBM i server.

    To uninstall the feature pack, run the one of the following commands from the Qshell command line in the app_server_root/uninstall_web2mobilefep_1.1 directory:

    Table 1. Silent uninstallation options
    Command Description
    uninstall -silent Use this command to uninstall the feature pack silently.

    Uninstalling the feature pack from the IBM i server removes feature pack libraries and directories.

  5. Review any log files if necessary. Log files are located in the app_server_root/logs/uninstall/web2mobilefep_1.1 directory.

Results

After completing the procedure, the feature pack is uninstalled.

If the feature pack does not uninstall successfully, examine the logs in the app_server_root/logs/uninstall/web2mobilefep_1.1 directory to identify why the uninstallation failed. Correct the problems identified and try uninstalling the product again.
