DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2 installer

You can uninstall IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2® installer.

Before you begin

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the uninstallSAM uninstall script that is included in the IBM Data Server install media to uninstall SA MP, you must meet the basic prerequisites for uninstalling SA MP. See: Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).

About this task

There are three methods for using the DB2 installer to install or uninstall:
  • DB2 Setup wizard (install, upgrade, or uninstall)
  • Silent installation by using a response file with db2setup (install or upgrade) or db2unins (for uninstall)
  • db2_install command (for install), installFixPack command (for upgrade), or db2_deinstall command (for uninstall)

The DB2 installer calls the uninstallSAM install script to perform parts of the SA MP uninstall. You can call uninstallSAM directly. For more information about using the uninstallSAM script to uninstall SA MP, see: Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the uninstallSAM uninstall script.

You can use the -l option with db2setup, db2_install, or installFixPack to specify where the installSAM script saves the SA MP installation log. For more information about the SA MP installation log, see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) install and uninstall logs.

Procedure

To uninstall SA MP using db2_deinstall, you can run db2_deinstall with the -a -F TSAMP option.

By default, the DB2 installer will not uninstall SA MP when you run db2_deinstall.

What to do next

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the uninstallSAM uninstall script that is included with the IBM Data Server install media to uninstall SA MP, follow the same post-uninstall steps.
