You can uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using
Installation Manager response files.
About this task
Using Installation Manager, you can work with response
files to uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox in a variety
of ways. You can record a response file using the GUI as described
in the following procedure, or you can generate a new response file
by hand or by taking an example and modifying it.
Procedure
- Optional: Record a response file to uninstall
the WebSphere Customization Toolbox: On one of your systems,
perform the following actions to record a response file that will
uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox:
- From a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory
in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
- Start Installation Manager from the command line using
the -record option.
For example:
- Windows administrator or non-administrator:
IBMIM.exe -skipInstall "C:\temp\imRegistry"
-record C:\temp\uninstall_response_file.xml
- AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris administrator:
./IBMIM -skipInstall /var/temp/imRegistry
-record /var/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml
- AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris non-administrator:
./IBMIM -skipInstall user_home/var/temp/imRegistry
-record user_home/var/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml
Tip: If you choose to use the -skipInstall parameter
with a temporary installation registry created as described in
Before
you begin, Installation Manager uses the temporary installation
registry while recording the response file. It is important to note
that when the -skipInstall parameter is specified, no packages are
installed or uninstalled. All of the actions that you perform in Installation
Manager simply update the installation data that is stored in the
specified temporary registry. After the response file is generated,
it can be used to uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox, removing
the WebSphere Customization Toolbox files and updating the standard
installation registry.
The -skipInstall operation should not be
used on the actual agent data location used by Installation Manager
This is unsupported. Use a clean writable location, and re-use that
location for future recording sessions.
