Uninstalling the Feature Pack for Web Services Client

Uninstall the Feature Pack for Web Services Client files leaving the Application Client intact.

Before you begin

The uninstall command calls the uninstaller program that is created during installation. The uninstaller program is customized for each product installation, with specific disk locations and routines for removing installed features.

If you have a feature pack installed, uninstalling Application Client using the Version 6.1 uninstaller program causes the feature pack to stop working because the uninstallation removes the server. However, you can uninstall the feature pack after uninstalling the WebSphere Application Server product.

Procedure

  1. [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] Log on using the same user ID that was used when the product was installed.

    Issue the ls -al command at the root of the Feature Pack for Web Services Client installation to find the user ID that was used to install the product.

  2. [Windows] Log on as a user who belongs to the administrators group or as the user who installed the product.
  3. Stop each running application server with the stopServer command.
    Stop all server processes in all profiles on the machine. For example, issue the following command from the profile_root/bin directory to stop the server1 process in the application server profile:
    ./stopServer.sh server1
    If a server is running and security is enabled, use the following command:
    ./stopServer.sh server1 -user user_ID -password password
    If you have multiple servers, you can use the serverStatus command to find running application servers. Issue the following command from the profile_root/bin directory to determine which servers, if any, are running:
    ./serverStatus.sh -all
  4. Optional: Back up log files to refer to them later if necessary.
  5. Run the uninstall command in the app_client_root/uninstall_websv directory:
    • [AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] uninstall.sh
    • [Windows] uninstall.exe

    The uninstaller wizard begins and displays the Welcome panel.

    You can also uninstall silently by running the uninstall command with the following parameters:

    Table 1. Silent uninstallation options
    Command Description
    uninstall -silent Use this command to uninstall the feature pack silently on the Application Client.
  6. If you are using the wizard, click Next to begin uninstalling the product.

    The uninstaller wizard displays a confirmation panel that lists a summary of the components that you are uninstalling.

    1. Click Next to continue uninstalling the product.
    2. Click Finish to close the wizard after the wizard removes the product.
  7. If the uninstallation program did not uninstall the feature pack enablement extensions, use the Update Installer to uninstall the enablement extensions.

    See Uninstalling a fix pack, interim fix, interim feature or test fix using the graphic user interface.

  8. Review the uninstallation log files located in the app_client_root/logs/uninstall/webservices directory.
  9. If necessary, delete the uninstall_websv directory for Feature Pack for Web Services Client.

Results

This procedure results in uninstalling the feature pack product.
