| 1. | STRQSH |
| 2. | cd /<websphereInstallationPath>/bin Example: cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/Express/bin |
| 3. | manageprofiles -delete -profileName <profileName> Example: manageprofiles -delete -profileName IBMTEST |
The profile should now be deleted. If the command fails or there seem to be parts of the profile that did not get deleted, you may forcefully remove the profile with the following additional commands:
| 1. | cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/Express/profiles |
| 2. | rm -r <profileName> |
| 3. | ls Note: Verify that you do not see your profile name listed after the ls command. |
| 4. | cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/Express/profileregistry/fsdb |
| 5. | rm -r <profileName> |
| 6. | ls Note: Verify again that you do not see your profile name listed. |
| 7. | Press F3 to exit QSHELL. |
| 8. | WRKLNK '/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/Express/profileregistry/' |
| 9. | Enter option 2 to edit the profileregistry.xml file. |
| 10. | Find the line that corresponds with your profile name and remove the entire line by entering a 'd' next to it and hitting Enter. Note: It should look something like this: <profile isAReservationTicket="false" isDefault="false" name="<yourProfileName>" path="/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/Express/pro.... Once you remove that entry, you will have completely removed the profile from your system. |
