Uninstalling DB2 Warehouse

The uninstallation program for DB2® Warehouse removes everything that was installed by the installation programs for DB2 Warehouse. You can uninstall the entire product, or you can select the individual components that you want to uninstall.

Before you begin

You must stop any database instances and instances of WebSphere® Application Server that are being used by the copy of DB2 Warehouse that you are uninstalling, or the uninstallation might fail.
