Uninstalling Business Integration Connect

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

Note:
Save the options file, and back up the common directory tree, as well as the console, receiver, and document manager directories if you plan to install the components again. You should also back up your database before using the Database Loader uninstaller.
  1. Shut down WebSphere Business Integration Connect servers in the following order:
    1. Navigate to the {WBIC INSTALL DIR}/console/was/bin directory and execute the following command:

      ./stopServer.sh server1

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

      ./shutdown_bcg.sh

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

      ./shutdown_bcg.sh

  2. In the _unist directory, run the uninstaller executable by entering the following.

    cd _uninst

    ./uninstaller

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

  3. 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 again into the same location, 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.

  4. 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. 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.
  5. The uninstaller removes the selected components. When it has removed all of the components, the uninstaller enables the Finish button. Click Finish.
  6. Review the files that remain in the directory structure and then recursively remove the directory tree.
    Note:
    If you use the silent unistaller, you must use the sample file provided to create the silent uninstall response file.
