Uninstalling IBM MQ but retaining data on IBM i

If you want to retain your user data, for example, because you intend to reinstall IBM® MQ for IBM i at a later date, you must perform a standard deletion of the product.

1. Quiesce IBM MQ for IBM i.
   For more information, see Quiescing IBM MQ for IBM i .
2. End the IBM MQ subsystem, by issuing the command:

   
   ENDSBS SBS(QMQM)
   

3. Ensure that no locks are held on the library QMQM, by issuing the command:

   
   WRKOBJLCK OBJ(QMQM) OBJTYPE(*LIB)
   

4. Use the Delete Licensed Program (DLTLICPGM) command to delete the base product (and also the samples, AMS, and WEB components if you chose to install them).
   To delete only the samples, issue the command:

   
   DLTLICPGM LICPGM( 5724H72 ) OPTION(1)
   

   To delete only the AMS component, issue the command:

   
   DLTLICPGM LICPGM( 5724H72 ) OPTION(2)
   

   To delete only the WEB component, issue the command:

   
   DLTLICPGM LICPGM( 5724H72 ) OPTION(3)
   

   To delete only extra language versions installed, issue the command:

   
   DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5724H72) LNG(nnnn)
   

   where nnnn is the language number, as in the list here:
