Uninstalling the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit from distributed operating systems using response files

You can use Installation Manager to uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit using response files.

Before you begin

Optional: Perform or record the installation of Installation Manager and the products it imported or installed to a temporary installation registry on one of your systems so that you can use this temporary registry to record the uninstallation without using the standard registry where Installation Manager is installed.

Procedure

  1. Record a response file to uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.

    On one of your systems, perform the following actions to record a response file that will uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit:

    1. From a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
    2. 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][Solaris] Administrator:
        ./IBMIM -skipInstall /var/temp/imRegistry 
          -record /var/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml
      • [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][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 product 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 Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit, removing the product 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.

      For more information, read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

    3. Click Uninstall.
    4. In the Uninstall Packages window, perform the following actions.
      1. Select IBM WebSphere Application Server Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit and the appropriate version.
      2. Click Next.
    5. Review the summary information.
    6. Click Uninstall.
    7. Click Finish.
    8. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
  2. Use the response file to uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
    From a command line on each of the systems from which you want to uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit, change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager and use the response file that you created to uninstall the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit. For example:
    • [Windows] Administrator or non-administrator:
      imcl.exe 
        input C:\temp\uninstall_response_file.xml 
        -log C:\temp\uninstall_log.xml
    • [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris] Administrator:
      ./imcl
        input /var/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml 
        -log /var/temp/uninstall_log.xml
    • [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris] Non-administrator:
      ./imcl
        input user_home/var/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml 
        -log user_home/var/temp/uninstall_log.xml

    Go to the IBM Installation Manager Information Center for more information.
