Uninstalling Rational Asset Manager

You can use the Uninstall option in the IBM® Installation Manager to uninstall packages from a single installation location. You can also uninstall all the installed packages from every installation location.

Before you begin

Beginning in IBM Rational® Asset Manager version 7.2, the default installation process was changed so that Installation Manager installs the Rational Asset Manager server setup application only and the server setup application deploys the Rational Asset Manager application .ear files. Therefore, to uninstall Rational Asset Manager from your server, you must remove the Rational Asset Manager application .ear files using the server setup application and then use the Installation Manger to remove the Rational Asset Manager server setup application from the IBM WebSphere® Application Server application and delete Rational Asset Manager folders.

To uninstall the packages, you must log in to the system using the same user account that you used to install the product packages.
Note: If you are uninstalling Rational Asset Manager server, Installation Manager will only remove the files that it installed. If you installed the Rational Asset Manager server manually on an application server, then you must uninstall it manually.
Note: If you deployed enterprise or web archive files using the Rational Asset Manager server setup application, you must uninstall them manually or through the server setup application. Installation Manager can only uninstall applications that it has installed.

Procedure

To uninstall the packages:

  1. Close the programs that you installed using Installation Manager.
  2. On the Start page click Uninstall.
  3. In the Uninstall Packages page, select the Rational Asset Manager product package that you want to uninstall. Click Next.
  4. In the Summary page, review the list of packages that will be uninstalled and then click Uninstall. The Complete page is displayed after the packages are removed.
  5. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
