You can create a response file and then run a command to use that response file to uninstall IBM Integration Designer.

Before you begin

Close all programs that you installed using Installation Manager.

About this task

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

Procedure

To silently uninstall IBM Integration Designer, complete the following steps:

  1. Create the response files that will uninstall the required base products and Integration Designer.
    Copy one of the sample response files in the following directory to create your own response file:
    • To uninstall both Integration Designer and the test environment: dvd_root/disk1/responsefiles/responsefile.uninstall.iid.testenv.xml
    • To uninstall Integration Designer alone: dvd_root/disk1/responsefiles/responsefile.uninstall.iid.xml
  2. Modify the parameters as directed in the text of the response file templates to create your response files.
    You can also create response files by recording your actions in Installation Manager. When you record a response file, the selections that you make in Installation Manager are stored in an XML file. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the data in the XML response file to perform the installation.
  3. Run the following command
    to uninstall both Integration Designer and the test environment:
    For Windows operating system
    IM_location\tools\imcl.exe input extract_location\disk1\responsefiles\responsefile.uninstall.iid.testenv.xml
    -log silentuninstall.log
    For Linux operating system
    IM_location/tools/imcl input extract_location/disk1/responsefiles/responsefile.uninstall.iid.testenv.xml
    -log silentuninstall.log
    Run the following command to uninstall Integration Designer alone:For Windows operating system
    IM_location\tools\imcl.exe input extract_location\disk1\responsefiles\responsefile.uninstall.iid.xml
    -log silentuninstall.log
    For Linux operating system
    IM_location/tools/imcl input extract_location/disk1/responsefiles/responsefile.uninstall.iid.xml
    -log silentuninstall.log

Results

Installation Manager uninstalls Integration Designer and writes a log file to the directory that you specified.
