Uninstalling

Directory Integrator, Version 7.1.1

Uninstalling

You can uninstall IBM® Tivoli® Directory Integrator in its entirety, or uninstall only certain components.

Launching the uninstaller

To uninstall Tivoli Directory Integrator, you must first launch the uninstaller:

Note:

Before uninstalling, stop any component that you intend to remove, for example an instance of the Tivoli Directory Integrator Runtime, an AMC service that is running, or a Password Synchronization plug-in. Not stopping running components may cause some files to not be removed (to remain after the uninstallation). On Windows, a restart may be required and the Tivoli Directory Integrator Web Admin (AMC) service may remain in the Services list, requiring manual deletion.

Navigate to the Tivoli Directory Integrator _uninst directory, for example:
```
install_path/_uninst
```
Launch the uninstaller by executing the uninstall executable file.
For Windows platforms, the uninstall executable file is called uninstaller.exe. For all other platforms, the uninstall executable file is called uninstaller.bin, except for i5/OS® where it is called uninstaller.sh.
You will now enter the Uninstall Panel flow.

Attention: During an uninstallation, a number of directories on the computer are emptied and removed. These are:

TDI_install_dir/lwi - There is the possibility that some files are left over here, or files can get created by the embedded Web platform that the installer doesn't lay down. This directory is deleted on uninstallation.
TDI_install_dir/ce/eclipsece/features/com.ibm.tdi.*.jar
TDI_install_dir/ce/eclipsece/plugins/com.ibm.tdi.*.jar
TDI_install_dir/ce/eclipsece/configuration
TDI_install_dir/ce/update_site/features/com.ibm.tdi.*.jar - If any features have been added that match this wildcard, they will be deleted.
TDI_install_dir/ce/update_site/plugins/com.ibm.tdi.*.jar - same as previous.
TDI_install_dir/maintenance/BACKUP - This directory may be created by the update installer.
TDI_install_dir/_uninst/* - This is needed because of the way the uninstallation on i5OS happens. It will be deleted regardless.

Anything you may have put into these directories yourself that matches any of these criteria, will be removed as well during an uninstallation.

Performing a silent uninstallation

To perform a silent uninstallation of IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator you must first generate a response file. To generate this file, you must perform a full GUI or console uninstallation with the -options-record option specified; for example:

TDI_install_dir/_uninst/uninstaller.exe -r UninstallResponseFileName

The response file is created in the directory that you specify during uninstallation.

Note:

The directory TDI_install_dir/examples/install contains a number of example response files for various installation or uninstallation scenarios.

Once the response file is created, you can uninstall silently using the following command:

TDI_install_dir/_uninst/uninstaller.exe -f UninstallResponseFileName

Note:

The examples in this document use the Windows platform uninstallation executable file.
