Manually uninstalling on a Solaris system

This procedure uninstalls the WebSphere Application Server product from a Solaris 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  

Steps for this task

  1. Search for related packages. Type the following command to search for packages for WebSphere Application Server products:
    pkginfo | grep WS

    If no packages appear when using these commands, skip the next step. The resulting list of packages has the following format:

    application WSBAA60        WebSphere Application Server
  2. Change directories to the directory where package information is registered.
    cd /var/sadm/pkg 
  3. Issue the following command to remove any WebSphere Application Server-related packages.
    pkgrm packagename1 packagename2 packagename3 ...
    Issue the following commands from the /var/sadm/pkg directory to search for and remove any WebSphere Application Server product-related packages that are registered in the /var/sadm/pkg directory:
    1. Change directories to the correct directory: cd /var/sadm/pkg
    2. ls |grep WSB|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for WebSphere Application Server products
    3. ls |grep WSC|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for Application Client
    4. ls |grep WSP|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server

    Package names for Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server are:

    WSPAA60
    WSPAA60AC 
    WSPAA60BC 
    WSPAA60CC 
    WSPAA60DC 
    WSPAA60FC 
    WSPAA60FB
    WSPAA60GC
    WSPAA60HC

    If there is a problem removing the packages, remove the related package directories in the /var/sadm/pkg directory, including the preremove files.

    For example, remove the following file before issuing the pkgrm -n WSBAA60 command:
    /var/sadm/pkg/WSBAA60/install/preremove
