You can use the command-line mode of IBM® Installation Manager to uninstall IBM Process Federation Server.

Before you begin

Stop Process Federation Server. Close all programs that you used Installation Manager to install.

About this task

To uninstall, you must log in to the system with the same user account that you used to install.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt, and change the directory to the /eclipse/tools directory under Installation Manager.
    Important: If you are running Windows, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator.
  2. Make the appropriate replacements and run the following command: 
    imcl uninstall list_of_package_IDs -installationDirectory installation_directory -log log_location -properties optionalProperties
    1. Replace list_of_package_IDs with a list of the IDs for the products you want to uninstall, separated by spaces.
      Table 1. Package IDs
      Product Package ID
      IBM Process Federation Server com.ibm.bpm.pfs.v85
      WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Network Deployment com.ibm.websphere.liberty.ND.v85
      IBM Installation Manager com.ibm.cic.agent
      WebSphere SDK Java™ Technology Edition Version 8.0 for Liberty com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v80
    2. Replace installation_directory with the location where you installed the product.
    3. Replace log_location with the location and file name to log the information.

Results

Installation Manager uninstalls the list of products and writes a log file to the directory that you specified.

Example

The following example uninstalls IBM Process Federation Server, WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network Deployment, and WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0 for Liberty on Linux®.

C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools>imcl uninstall com.ibm.bpm.pfs.v85 com.ibm.websphere.liberty.ND.v85 com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v80 -installationDirectory C:\IBM\PFS86 -log uninstalllog.txt

What to do next

After you uninstall, you can delete files that remain in the file system, for example, in the profiles\profilename\logs directory. Also, if Installation Manager is not being used by any other products, you can uninstall it.
