Uninstalling a Feature Pack for SCA maintenance package

After you install Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.0 and install a Feature Pack for SCA refresh pack, you can use the IBM Update Installer to uninstall the maintenance package. You can also use the Update Installer to uninstall an interim fix or test fix.

Before you begin

Before starting this maintenance package uninstallation, do the following:

  1. Ensure that you have a WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 installation with the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.0 and a refresh pack installed.

    New or updated for this feature pack For the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1 refresh pack, you installed the pak file 1.0_WS_SCA_RP000000.1.pak.

  2. If you do not have a recent installation of the Update Installer, download and install the IBM Update Installer Version 7.0.0.3 or later from the IBM support site. For more information, see the topic Installing 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.

About this task

The Procedure in this topic describes how to uninstall maintenance using the graphical user interface.

You can also uninstall maintenance silently by running the uninstall command with the silent parameter. The following command uninstalls the refresh pack:
./update.sh -W backup.package=1.0-WS-SCA-RP0000001.pak
    -W update.type=uninstall -W product.location=/app_server_root -silent
For details on running the uninstall command, refer to Silently uninstalling a fix pack, an interim fix, or a test fix.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that all running processes are stopped.
  2. Launch the Update Installer.

    For example:

    [Windows]
    update.bat
    [Windows Vista] [Windows 2008 Server]
    update.exe
    [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris]
    ./update.sh
  3. On the Welcome panel, click Next.
  4. On the Product Selection panel, specify the directory path for the Feature Pack for SCA installation that has the maintenance package you want to uninstall, and click Next.
  5. On the Maintenance Operation Selection panel, select Uninstall maintenance package and then click Next.
  6. The system prompts for the maintenance package that you want to uninstall.

  7. On the Summary panel, click Next.
