Uninstalling a stand-alone Db2 Text Search server

You can uninstall a stand-alone Db2 Text Search by using the Uninstall_ECMTextSearch command.

Before you begin

Stop any Db2 Text Search services and shutdown the stand-alone Db2 Text Search server before starting the uninstallation process.

Procedure

To uninstall the stand-alone Db2 Text Search server:

  1. Navigate to the ECMTS_HOME directory.
  2. Start the uninstallation by issuing one of the following platform-specific commands:
    • On Linux® and UNIX operating systems:
      INSTALL_DIR/Uninstall_ECMTextSearch/Uninstall_ECMTextSearch  -i silent
    • On Windows operating systems:
      ECMTS_HOME\Uninstall_ECMTextSearch\Uninstall_ECMTextSearch.exe -i silent
    The uninstall program does not remove all data from the ECMTS_HOME directory. For example, the uninstall.log file remains after running the uninstall program. Some or all of the following directories might not be removed by the uninstall program and must be removed manually:
    • ECMTS_HOME\config
    • ECMTS_HOME\license
    • ECMTS_HOME\log
    • ECMTS_HOME\resource
    • ECMTS_HOME\temp
    • ECMTS_HOME\Uninstall_ECMTextSearch
    Tip: You might want to back up collection or configuration data that is stored in the ECMTS_HOME\config directory for future use.

Results

The Db2 Text Search server is uninstalled and cannot be used anymore for text search index administration or full-text query execution. However, the text index collection and configuration data remains intact.
