Always use
the IBM® Integration Bus uninstallation
wizard to remove the Integration Bus component,
unless otherwise stated. Do not use the uninstallation program
that is provided by the operating system; for example, geninstall on AIX®, or swremove on HP-UX.
For information about the console
interface and alternative interfaces available, see How to install and uninstall the Integration Bus component.
To start the console interface
of the uninstaller, complete the following steps:
- Stop all running processes that are associated with brokers
before you uninstall. Use the mqsilist command to check which brokers are running. Use the mqsistop command to stop each broker.
- On Windows, Linux on x86, and Linux on x86-64, end any active sessions of
the IBM Integration Toolkit.
- If you do not plan to reinstall brokers on this computer,
delete all the brokers that are associated with this installation
by using the mqsideletebroker command. When
you delete a broker, all its associated data and resources are deleted.
- By default, the uninstaller launches in the graphical,
console, or silent mode previously used to install the Integration Bus component. For example, if
the installation uses the silent interface, the uninstaller defaults
to using the silent interface. However, the uninstaller mode can be
overridden on the command line by specifying the -i swing, -i
console, or -i silent flags. Run the
uninstallation program from outside the installation directory, specifying
the full path to ensure that the folders are removed during uninstallation, where install_dir is the home directory of
your IBM Integration Bus installation:
If you accepted the default location
during installation, this directory is as follows. The default directory
includes the
version, release, modification, and fix of the
product that you are installing in the format
v.r.m.f (version.release.modification.fix):
- Linux
- /opt/ibm/mqsi/v.r.m.f
- UNIX
- /opt/IBM/mqsi/v.r.m.f
- Windows 32-bit
- C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f
- Windows 64-bit
- C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for
the 64-bit version of IBM Integration Bus
- C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\MQSI\v.r.m.f for
the 32-bit version of IBM Integration Bus
These locations define the default value of
install_dir on each
platform.
- When started, the uninstaller displays the location
from which the uninstaller will remove the Integration Bus component. Press Enter to
confirm that you want to uninstall the product and that the location
it is uninstalling from is correct. The uninstallation
starts. A brief message displays when the uninstallation is complete.
