Uninstalling Business Integration Connect

Use this procedure to uninstall either Business Integration Connect or the Database Loader:

  1. If you want to install the components you are uninstalling again, save the options file used to install the components.
    Note:
    If you plan to install components again, back up the common directory tree as well as the Console, Receiver, and Document Manager directories. You should also back up your database before using the Database Loader uninstaller.
  2. If you installed Business Integration Connect as a Windows Service, you will need to Stop the Receiver, Document Manager, and Console before uninstalling Business Integration Connect. Follow the procedures below to stop the Receiver, Document Manager, and Console.
    1. Click Start > Settings > Control screen > Administrative Tools > Services.
    2. Right click IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - bcgConsole and select Stop.
    3. Right click IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - bcgDocumentMgr and select Stop.
    4. Right click IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - bcgReceiver and select Stop.
  3. Shut down WebSphere Business Integration Connect servers in the following order:
    Note:
    These steps only need to be performed if you did not shut down the components from the Windows Service as shown in step 2.
    1. Navigate to the {WBIC INSTALL DIR}\console\was\bin directory and execute the following command:

      stopServer.bat server1

    2. Navigate to the {WBIC INSTALL DIR}\receiver\was\bin directory and execute the following command:

      shutdown_bcg.bat

    3. Navigate to the {WBIC INSTALL DIR}/router/was/bin directory and execute the following command:

      shutdown_bcg.bat

  4. In the _unist directory, run the uninstaller executable.

    The uninstaller wizard starts and displays the Welcome screen. Click Next.

  5. If you are uninstalling Business Integration Connect, in the Component selection screen, select the components that you want to remove from this system. You can select multiple components.

    Be careful about uninstalling the common shared files. If you do not install the common shared files into the same location again after uninstalling, many of the configurations in properties files and in the database will require changes.

    Note:
    Business Integration Connect requires at least one instance of each component. If you remove the only instance of a component, you must install that component on another system. For example, if you remove the only instance of Document Manager on your network, you must install Document Manager on another system and it must be configured to use the same database and queue manager.

    Click Next. The Uninstaller displays the Summary screen.

  6. The Summary screen lists the components that the uninstaller will remove. Review this information. If any of this information is incorrect, click Back to return to previous screens and correct it. When all of the information on the summary screen is correct, click Next.
    Note:
    The uninstaller only removes files that were created during the installation. It does not remove any files or folders that were created after installation. You can remove any remaining files or folders manually after the uninstall is complete.
  7. The uninstaller removes the selected components. When it has removed all of the components, the uninstaller enables the Finish button. Click Finish.
  8. Review the files that remain in the directory structure and then remove the directory tree.
