Uninstalling Feature Pack for Web Services Client on i5/OS

You can uninstall a feature pack product for IBM Application Client for the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 product by running the feature pack uninstall command from your iSeries 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.

If you have a feature pack installed, uninstalling the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server using the Version 6.1 uninstaller program causes the feature pack to stop working because the uninstallation removes the server. However, you can uninstall the feature pack after uninstalling the IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server product.

About this task

Use this procedure to uninstall a feature pack from a IBM Application Client for WebSphere Application Server for i5/OS Version 6.1 installation.

Procedure

  1. Sign onto the iSeries system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority.
  2. Stop all processes for the Version 6.1 product for which you are uninstalling the feature pack.
  3. Verify that the host server jobs have started on your iSeries server.

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

    STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL)
  4. Uninstall the feature pack from your WebSphere Application Server for i5/OS installation on your iSeries server.

    To uninstall the feature pack, run the one of the following commands from the Qshell command line in the app_client_root/uninstall_websv directory:
