Uninstalling the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using the command line

You can uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using the Installation Manager command line.

Before you begin

Important: When you uninstall the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, the process does not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins configurations. You might want to use the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to delete any plug-in configurations that you created using the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool before you remove the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

If you do not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins that were configured using the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool before uninstalling the WebSphere Customization Toolbox, the configuration information remains. If the WebSphere Customization Toolbox is reinstalled, the configuration information that displays in the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool might be obsolete and greyed out, preventing you from interacting properly with the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool. To resolve this problem, manually remove the workspace used by the previous WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation. The workspace is in the following location:

user_home/AppData/Local/IBM/WebSphere/workspaces/WCT8
user_home/.ibm/WebSphere/workspaces/WCT8

Procedure

Log on to your system.
Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation.
Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
Use the imcl command to uninstall the offering.
```
imcl.exe uninstall com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85,optional_feature_ID
  -installationDirectory installation_directory
```
```
./imcl uninstall com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85,optional_feature_ID
  -installationDirectory installation_directory
```
You can remove a list of features that are separated by commas-the feature ID zpmt indicates the Profile Management Tool (z/OS only), zmmt indicates the z/OS Migration Management Tool, pct indicates the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, and installtools indicates the Remote Installation Tool for IBM i. If a list of features is not specified, the entire product is uninstalled.

Go to the IBM Installation Manager documentation for more information.
