Uninstalling enterprise applications using the console

After an application no longer is needed, you can uninstall it.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have installed an enterprise application on a server and that you want to delete the application from the server.

About this task

Uninstalling an application deletes the application from the product configuration repository and deletes the application binaries from the file system of all nodes where the application modules are installed.

Procedure

  1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications in the administrative console navigation tree to access the Enterprise applications page.
  2. If you need to retain a copy of the application, back up the application.
    1. Select the application to uninstall.
    2. Click Export.
    The product exports the application to an enterprise application (.ear) file, preserving the binding information.
  3. Uninstall the application.
    1. Select the application to uninstall.
    2. Click Uninstall.
    3. On the Uninstall application page, click OK.
  4. Save changes made to the administrative configuration.

Results

On single-server products, application binaries are deleted after you save the changes.
