Windows: Uninstalling an S-TAP agent with GIM Set up by Client

Before you begin

About this task

The Windows S-TAP can be uninstalled without reboot. Upgrade your S-TAP to 11.4 or later, reboot the S-TAP once, for example, in the next maintenance window. Then, you can uninstall the S-TAP without rebooting the database server or restarting database instances. A fresh install of the 11.4 or later S-TAP out of the box is fully uninstallable without requiring a reboot.

Procedure

  1. Go to Manage > Module Installation > Set up by Client.
  2. In the Choose clients section, select the database servers from which you are uninstalling the S-TAP. Select individual clients using check boxes in the table, or use the Select client group menu to select a group of clients. Click Next to continue.
  3. In the Choose bundle section, select the bundle that you want to uninstall from the drop-down list.
    Tip:
    • You can filter the clients, for example, by name, module, Selected bundle actions, and client OS. The resulting selection is persistent; the action is applied only to the filtered list of clients. You can see that the number of clients in the Choose Clients section is greater than the number in Configure Clients section.
    • Clear the Show only latest versions checkbox to view and work with earlier versions of a bundle.
    • Clear the Show only bundles checkbox to identify individual modules within a bundle.
    • Select the Show only compatible clients checkbox to hide clients that are not compatible with the selected bundle.
    The Configure Clients row shows the number of clients that have that specific bundle running. Click Next to continue.
  4. Click Uninstall. The system prompts for confirmation. Click Yes.
