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.
- Type WRKMQM and press Enter.

end it.
