Uninstalling the product

You can use any of the following methods to uninstall the product.

Procedure

  • Uninstalling through the IBM® Installation Manager
    The IBM Installation Manager uninstall option removes the entire offering. It attempts to clean up the installation directory and any files that are created by the user after the product was installed, with the possible exception of a log file. For the cleanup of the installation directory to take place, ensure that no shell or application is using the installation directory as its current directory or is locking it in any other way.
    Important: If you are planning to reinstall this runtime environment and use the same database instance that it uses, make sure that you create a backup image of the database as a precaution.
    1. Start IBM Installation Manager and click Uninstall.
    2. Select IBM Product Master and click Next.
    3. Review the summary information and click Uninstall.
    4. Click Finish.
