Linux-UNIX: Uninstalling S-TAP using RPM

Learn how to uninstall the S-TAP agent from a Linux server using the RPM.

Before you begin

• If the database is using an exit library, disable the exit library, and then delete the exit library.
• If A-TAP is active, de-activate it before uninstalling the S-TAP. See Linux-UNIX: A-TAP activate, deactivate and DB stop, restart guidelines.

1. To get the RPM name, run: rpm -qa | grep guard_stap
2. Run rpm -e <RPM_NAME>

Results

After uninstalling S-TAP, the directory /opt/guardium still exists, but should only contain /opt/guardium/guard_stap/guard_tap.ini.rpmsave and /opt/guardium/rpm_logs.
