Removing the Netezza Performance Server tools

About this task

You can remove or uninstall the Windows tools by using the Windows Add or Remove Programs interface in the Control Panel. The uninstallation program removes all folders, files, menu commands, and environment variables. The registry entries that are created by other Netezza Performance Server applications, however, are not removed.

To remove the Netezza Performance Server tools from a Windows client, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Click Start > Control Panel > Uninstall.
    The menu options can vary with each Windows operating system type.
  2. Select IBM Netezza Tools, then click Uninstall/Change.
    The Uninstall IBM Netezza Tools window appears.
  3. Click Uninstall.
    The removal usually completes in a few minutes. Wait for the removal to complete.
  4. Using the File Explorer, check the installation location, which is usually C:\Program Files\IBM Netezza Tools.
    If the Windows client was the only installed Netezza Performance Server software, you can delete the IBM Netezza Tools folder to completely remove the application.
