Removing IBM Content Navigator from IBM WebSphere Application Server

If you want to remove the IBM Content Navigator application from IBM WebSphere Application Server, you must use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to manually remove the application.

Procedure

To remove IBM Content Navigator from WebSphere Application Server:

  1. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  2. Uninstall the application:
    1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
    2. Select the IBM Content Navigator application. By default, the application is named Navigator.
    3. Click Stop.
    4. Select the IBM Content Navigator application again and click Uninstall.
    5. On the Uninstall application panel, click OK.
    6. Save your changes to the master configuration.
  3. To clean up all changes that were made to your web application server to support IBM Content Navigator, you can also remove the following configuration items:
    • IBM Content Navigator Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module
      Important: If IBM Content Navigator is deployed in the same WebSphere Application Server profile as IBM FileNet® Workplace XT or Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, do not remove the JAAS login module from the web application server. If the login module is removed, you cannot log in to the administration console and the links from IBM FileNet Workplace XT do not work.

      The login module is located under Security > Global security > Java Authentication and Authorization Service > Application logins. The login module is named Navigator.

    • JDBC drivers

      The JDBC drivers are located under Environment > WebSphere Variables > cell_name. For more information about the drivers that were added to the environment variables, see Copying JDBC drivers to the web application server.

    • JDBC provider

      The JDBC provider is located under Resources > JDBC > JDBC providers > IBM Content Navigator JDBC provider for DB2.

    • IBM Content Navigator JDBC data source

      The JDBC data source is located under Resources > JDBC > Data Sources. By default, the data source name is ECMClientDS.

    • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) configuration
      Important: Do not remove the LDAP configuration if Content Engine and IBM Content Navigator share the LDAP configuration.

      The LDAP repositories are located under Security > Global security > Federated repositories > Manage repositories.

    • IBM Content Navigator application server class loader

      The application server class loader is located under Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Java and Process Management > Class loader.

      To determine which class loader applies to IBM Content Navigator, open the class loader and click Shared library references to verify that the class loader references the ECMClientSharedLib.

    • The IBM Content Navigator shared library

      The shared library is located under Environment > Shared libraries. The shared library is named ECMClientSharedLib.

  4. Save your changes to the master configuration.
  5. Restart the application server.
