Uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus

Follow these instructions to remove WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus. Some components must be removed by accessing the OS/400 or i5/OS system, and some must be removed from the Windows system. The uninstaller program does not uninstall the prerequisites. You have to do this manually, according to the instructions provided with the specific prerequisite.

These instructions present a manual uninstallation process. For a "silent" uninstallation process, refer to Appendix. Silent installation and uninstallation.

Note:
Before you uninstall, make sure that none of the processes associated with InterChange Server Express are running on both the OS/400 or i5/OS system and on the Windows system (if applicable). If they are, stop them.

Deleting server instances

All of the InterChange Server instances must be deleted before you can uninstall the InterChange Server component.

To delete a server instance it is recommended that you first uninstall the adapter and collaboration capacity packs, if installed. Refer to Uninstalling the Adapter Capacity Pack to uninstall the Adapter Capacity Pack and Uninstalling the Collaboration Capacity Pack to uninstall the Collaboration Capacity Pack.

After you have uninstalled the capacity packs, run the following command from QShell: /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer44/bin/delete_instance.sh instanceName.

Removing the MQ queue manager and listener

The queue manager and listener are not deleted when you delete the server instance. IBM recommends that you delete them if they are not in use by other applications. To delete them, follow these steps from the OS/400 or i5/OS system. These are CL commands.

  1. Type WRKMQM and press Enter.
  2. Enter 15 next to your queue manager to end it.
  3. Press F5 to refresh the status. When the status is "INACTIVE", continue.
  4. Enter WRKMQMLSR
  5. Enter a 4 next to the listener associated with your queue manager.
  6. Enter WRKMQM.
  7. Enter a 4 next to your queue manager to delete it.

Removing components from the OS/400 or i5/OS system

IBM provides a console mode program on your OS/400 and i5/OS to remove your entire WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus installation, or to select specific components for removal. To run the uninstallation program, log on to your OS/400 or i5/OS system and do the following:

  1. Type QSH at the command line to enter QShell.
  2. Change to the uninstall directory.
    For Server Express, cd /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer44/product/_uninstWBIServerExp
    For Server Express Plus, cd /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer44/product/_uninstWBIServerExpPlus
  3. Enter the command to start the uninstallation program: java -jar uninstall.jar. The Uninstallation Welcome text appears.
  4. Enter 1 for next, or press Enter to select the default navigation. The Uninstallation Feature text appears. Each installed component appears with an x next to it, selected for uninstallation.
  5. Leave any components selected that you want removed and press Enter for Next. The Pre-uninstallation Summary text appears.
  6. Press Enter to confirm your selections. The Uninstaller removes the selected components. The Post-uninstallation Finish text appears.
