Uninstalling Application Client for WebSphere Application Server

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

Before you begin

If you want to uninstall IBM® Application Client for WebSphere Application Server manually, read the Uninstalling the product on i5/OS® topic.

Important: If you have a feature pack installed, uninstalling the Application Client for WebSphere Application Server using the Version 6.1.0 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 WebSphere Application Server product.
Important: 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.

    Read the Uninstalling the product on i5/OS topic for more information.

  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.
  3. Issue the command to uninstall the product.

    Use the uninstall all command.

    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_client_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 uninstallation wizard 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 theapp_client_root directory; however, without the necessary permission to move the file to theapp_client_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/cltlogs directory:
  • log.txt
  • trace.txt.gz
  • trace.xml.gz
