Following Tivoli Common Reporting uninstallation:

To prevent any possible system instability caused by residual processes post-uninstall of Tivoli Common Reporting, run thetcr Clean.sh script on all systems where Tivoli Common Reporting is uninstalled:

  1. On the host where the Tivoli Common Reporting installation failed, change to the directory containing tcr Clean.sh:
      cd /opt/IBM/proviso/deployer/proviso/bin/Util/
  2. Run tcr Clean.sh
  3. When prompted, enter the location where Tivoli Common Reporting was installed.
Note: If you have uninstalled Tivoli Common Reporting on a remote host, thetcr Clean.sh file is sent by using ftp to the remote host for execution.
