Uninstalling FTM in silent mode

You can uninstall FTM without using an X Window terminal emulator by instead specifying settings in a response file and having IBM® Installation Manager refer to that file during uninstallation. How to use response files is described in the IBM Installation Manager documentation.

The FTM installation package contains the following sample response file: 
/silent/ftm_uninstall.rsp
This sample file must be adapted to your environment before it can be used.
To uninstall FTM in silent mode:
  1. Insert the FTM installation CD-ROM or change to the directory to which you extracted the installation package.
  2. If you are using the FTM installation CD-ROM, copy the response file for silent uninstallation (ftm_uninstall.rsp) to a temporary directory and ensure that you have write permissions to the response file.
  3. Edit the response file:
    • To set the installation repository, locate the following tag and replace your_ftm3.0_repository with the directory that contains the repository.config file when you are using a directory or the diskTag.inf file when you are using the installation CD: 
      <repository location='your_ftm3.0_repository'/>
    • If your FTM installation directory is different from /opt/IBM/ftm, locate the following tags and replace /opt/IBM/ftm with your installation directory: 
      <profile id='IBM Financial Transaction Manager for Multiplatforms'
  installLocation='/opt/IBM/ftm'>

<data key='eclipseLocation' value='/opt/IBM/ftm'/>
    • If the IBM Installation Manager Shared Resources Directory is not /opt/IBM/IBMIMShared, locate the following tag and replace /opt/IBM/IBMIMShared with the correct directory: 
      <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache'
  value='/opt/IBM/IBMIMShared'/>
  4. Save the response file.
  5. To start IBM Installation Manager in silent mode, from the directory that contains the response file, issue the following command on a single line: 
    <IMinstdir>/eclipse/tools/imcl -input ftm_uninstall.rsp
  -acceptLicense -log log/ftm_uninstall.log
    where <IMinstdir> represents the directory in which IBM Installation Manager is installed. The default is /opt/IBM/InstallationManager.
