Removing Replication Manager for Linux Manually completing the removal of Replication Manager for Linux

You can use these procedures to remove the Replication Manager component from your Linux system.

Prerequisites
Attention: Attention: You must remove the Replication Manager component before you remove Multiple Device Manager (MDM).
Steps

Perform the following steps to remove Replication Manager:

  1. Log on as root to the system where Replication Manager is installed.
  2. You must stop the following products, if they exist on the system:
    • IBM Director Server and Consoles
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server
    • IBM HTTP Admin
    • IBM HTTP Server
    Type the appropriate stop commands, as follows:
    1. To stop IBM Director Server, type the following command in a separate command window:
      twgstop
    2. To stop IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 - server1, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <WAS_dest-path>/bin/stopServer.sh server1 -username 
        <username> -password <password>
      where:

      <WAS_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 was installed.

      <username> is the name of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

      <password> is the password of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

      Note:Note: If WebSphere Application Server was installed as part of the Multiple Device Manager installation:
      • You can use the Multiple Device Manager superuser ID or a Console user having an Operator or Administrator role to stop WebSphere Application Server.
      • <WAS_dest-path> is <dest-path>/WebSphere/AppServer

        where <dest-path> is the installation location for the Multiple Device Manager.

    3. To stop IBM HTTP Administration 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/adminctl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

    4. To stop IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/apachectl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

  3. Type the following command to run the uninstallation program (uninstall), from the _uninst subdirectory of the path where Replication Manager is installed:
    <dest-path>/_uninst/uninstall
    where:

    <dest-path> is the path where Replication Manager is installed.

    If, for some reason, the uninstallation program was not created during installation, run the following command:

    <dm_dest-path>/_jvm/jre/bin/java -jar <dest-path>
      /_uninst/uninstall.jar

    where:

    <dm_dest-path> is the path where MDM is installed.

    <dest-path> is the path where Replication Manager is installed.

  4. The Replication Manager Uninstaller Welcome window opens. Click Next to continue, or click Cancel to stop the removal of Replication Manager.
  5. The uninstallation program for Replication Manager Server runs a check to detect whether any of the IBM Director or IBM WebSphere Application processes are running. If they are, a panel opens cautioning you to stop those services manually.
  6. The Preview window opens. The uninstallation program displays a summary panel of the location of Replication Manager and the features to be uninstalled. Click Remove to continue, or click Cancel to stop the removal of the Replication Manager server and client. Alternatively, click Back to return to the previous window.
  7. The Uninstallation Progress window opens. Wait for the program to remove the Replication Manager server and client.
  8. The Finish window for the uninstallation program opens. This window indicates the result of the removal process (successful or failed). Click Finish to complete the removal process and exit the wizard.
Result

If the Finish window for the uninstallation program opens and the result of the removal process is successful, the Replication Manager server and client are removed from your Linux system.

Post-processing requirements

Modified files that were added to the Replication Manager directory after the initial installation of Replication Manager will not be removed by the uninstallation program. Check for any contents in the Replication Manager directory that you might want to preserve elsewhere. Then remove the Replication Manager directory manually.
