Uninstalling Liberty from IBM i operating systems using response files

You can uninstall WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core using Installation Manager response files.

About this task

Using Installation Manager, you can work with response files to uninstall the product.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core installation.
  2. Sign on to the IBM® i system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  3. On a CL command line, run the STRQSH command to start the Qshell command shell.
  4. Use a response file to uninstall the product.
    From a command line on each of the systems from which you want to uninstall the product, change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager and use a response file that you created to uninstall the product. For example:
    ./imcl
      input $HOME/WASFiles/temp/uninstall_response_file.xml 
      -log $HOME/WASFiles/temp/uninstall_log.xml
    Here is an example of what the response file might contain:
    <agent-input>
    <uninstall>
    <offering profile="WebSphere Liberty V8.5"/>
    </uninstall>
    </agent-input>

    Go to the IBM Installation Manager Information Center for more information.

  5. Optional: Uninstall IBM Installation Manager.
    Important: Before you can uninstall IBM Installation Manager, you must uninstall all of the packages that were installed by Installation Manager.

    Read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center for information about using the uninstall script to perform this procedure.
