When you remove suite software, the software removal program
removes only the files that were created as part of the installation
of InfoSphere® Information Server.
You must manually remove other files from the repository tier computer
if you plan to reinstall the suite.
Run the software removal program and ensure
that it completed successfully.
- Remove unused databases.
- If you created the metadata repository database before
you installed InfoSphere Information Server,
manually drop the metadata repository database.
The default
database name is xmeta.
- If you created the IBM®
InfoSphere Information Analyzer analysis
database before you installed InfoSphere Information Server,
manually drop the database.
The default database name is

- If you installed the Db2® database
system by using the InfoSphere Information Server installation
program, delete the following directories:
- Db2 installation directory
- The default directory is /opt/IBM/db2/version.
- Db2 instance owner directory
- Remove the /~db2inst1/sqllib directory,
where ~db2inst1 is home directory of the instance
owner. For example, the default home directory of the instance owner
is typically /home/db2inst1.
- If you used the Db2 database system as the metadata repository
and it no longer needs a Db2 user
account, delete the Db2 user
accounts.
- Run the id command to identify the
related groups for the following Db2 user
accounts: db2inst1 and db2fenc1.
bash$ id db2inst1
uid=210(db2inst1) gid=202(db2iadm1) groups=1(staff)
- Run the userdel command to delete
the user accounts.
- Run the groupdel command to delete
the related groups.
- If you used an Oracle database
system or a Microsoft SQL
Server database system as the metadata repository, use an Oracle database
system command or a Microsoft SQL
Server database system command to drop the metadata repository user
and schema.
- Remove any remaining InfoSphere Information Server users
and groups if you are not using them for other purposes.
