Uninstalling the DASH components

For integrated scenarios, Netcool Configuration Manager provides the following DASH components: The Activity Viewer, the DASH wizards and the Netcool Configuration Manager thick-client launch portal. To uninstall these components, use IBM Installation Manager.

About this task

Restriction: The Netcool Configuration Manager DASH components must be uninstalled as the same user who installed these components.

Procedure

Log onto the DASH server as the same user who installed the Netcool Configuration Manager DASH components.
Change to the /eclipse subdirectory of the Installation Manager Group installation directory, and use the following command to start the Installation Manager wizard:
```
./IBMIM
```
Tip: To record the installation steps in a response file for use with silent installations on other computers, use the '-record response_file' option. For example:
```
./IBMIM -record C:\response_files\uninstall_1.xml
```
In the main Installation Manager window, click Uninstall, and then select IBM Dashboard Applications for ITNCM.
Follow the uninstallation wizard instructions.

The Uninstall Wizard will request the following details:

DASH administrative credentials

Enter the DASH administrator username (the default is sysadmin).

Enter the DASH administrator password.

Network Manager administrative credentials

Enter either the Network Manager administrative username (the default is badminton), or the name of the DASH Super User (who must have the ncw_admin role in DASH).

Enter the appropriate user password.
Complete the removal of the Netcool Configuration Manager DASH components.

Results

The Installation Manager removes only the files and directories that it installed.

Example

Tip: Best practice recommendation: You can generate a response file through Installation Manager, as in the following example:
