This procedure uninstalls a WebSphere Application Server product from a Linux system. After running the uninstaller program, manual steps remove log files and registry entries that can prevent you from reinstalling the product into the original directory. If you are not planning to reinstall, do not uninstall manually.
Before you begin
Why and when to perform this task
Identifier | Directory | Actual location |
---|---|---|
app_server_root | /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer | |
profile_root | /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles | |
plugins_root | /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins |
Step for this task
Do not delete or rename the vpd.properties file because the InstallShield for MultiPlatforms (ISMP) program uses it for other products that it installs. If the WebSphere Application Server product that you are uninstalling is the only product with entries in the vpd.properties file, you can delete this file.
