Procedure

  1. Uninstall the feature pack.
    1. Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere® Application Server installation that contains the feature pack.
    2. Start Installation Manager.
    3. Click Uninstall.
    4. In the Uninstall Packages window, perform the following actions.
      1. Select IBM® WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for CEA and the appropriate version.
        Important: Do not select WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x unless you want to remove the base product from your system along with the feature pack.
        Note: Do not select any other feature packs that you installed unless you want to remove them from your system along with this feature pack.
      2. Click Next.
      3. If a panel displays that indicates that you still have profiles that are augmented for the feature pack, perform one of the following actions:
        • Select the option to unaugment the profiles, and click Next.
        • Click Cancel to cancel the uninstallation.
        Important: Profiles augmented by a feature pack or feature must be unaugmented or deleted before the feature pack or feature is uninstalled. Profiles that are unaugmented should be deleted because they might not be valid after the feature pack or feature is uninstalled.
    5. Review the summary information.
      Remember: If you include the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x package, the base product will be removed from your system.
    6. Click Uninstall.
      • If the uninstallation is successful, the program displays a message that indicates success.
      • If the uninstallation is not successful, click View log to troubleshoot the problem.
    7. Click Finish.
    8. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
  2. Optional: Use Installation Manager to uninstall WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x.
    Important: Do not use the uninstall script to uninstall WebSphere Application Server if you have installed any of the feature packs on the product. If you have installed any feature packs on the product, use IBM Installation Manager to uninstall the feature packs and the product.
    Notes:
    • Uninstall the feature pack using Installation Manager before uninstalling WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x.

      If you uninstall WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x without uninstalling the feature pack and then reinstall WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 to the same location, Installation Manager incorrectly concludes that the feature pack is installed on the new WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 installation.

    • If you try to use Installation Manager to remove a feature such as the Samples or one of the language packages from an ISMP-installed package that is imported into Installation Manager, removal is blocked and an error message is displayed. Use the ISMP-based installation tools to remove any features from a package that is imported into Installation Manager.
    1. Ensure that all Version 7.0 feature packs have been uninstalled.
    2. Start Installation Manager.
    3. Click Uninstall.
    4. In the Uninstall Packages window, select the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.x installation and click Next.
    5. Review the summary information, and click Uninstall.
      • If the uninstallation is successful, the program displays a message that indicates successful uninstallation.
      • If the uninstallation is not successful, click View log to troubleshoot the problem.
    6. Click Finish.
    7. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
  3. Optional: Uninstall IBM Installation Manager.
    Important: Before you can uninstall IBM Installation Manager, you must uninstall all of the packages that were installed by Installation Manager and all imported WebSphere Application Server installations.
