Uninstalling from WebSphere Application Server manually

To uninstall IBM® Rational® Asset Manager manually, use the following instructions to uninstall the enterprise and web archives from the application server and remove any other settings and configurations.

Before you begin

If you used the server setup application or Installation Manager to help you deploy the application files, you can use them to help you remove files. For more information, see Uninstalling with the server setup application and Installation Manager.

Procedure

  1. Start the IBM WebSphere® Application Server administrative console.
  2. Log in using an administrator user ID and password.
  3. Delete the data sources for Rational Asset Manager. Repeat the following steps for each of the data sources with the JNDI names jdbc/RAM_Con, jdbc/CCM_Con, and jdbc/JTS_Con.
    1. Locate and click the data source. For instance, click jdbc/RAM_Con.
      • If you are using a stand-alone server, you might find the data source under the Server scope.
      • If you are using a network server, you might find the data source under the cluster where Rational Asset Manager was installed.
    2. Note the name of the component-managed authentication alias that the data source uses.
    3. Delete the data source.
    4. Navigate to Security > Global security > Java Authentication and Authorization Service > J2C Authentication Data.
    5. Delete the entry whose name matches the component-managed authentication alias that you noted.
  4. If you installed Rational Team Concert™ onto your server or cluster, delete the data source for Rational Team Concert:
    1. Locate and click the data source with the JNDI name jdbc/RTC_Con
      • If you are using a stand-alone server, you might find it under the Server scope.
      • If you are using a network server, you might find it under the server where Rational Team Concert was installed.
    2. Note the name of the component-managed authentication alias that the data source uses.
    3. Delete the data source.
    4. Navigate to Security > Global security > Java Authentication and Authorization Service > J2C Authentication Data.
    5. Delete the entry whose name matches the component-managed authentication alias that you noted.
  5. Optional: If your server is a network deployment cluster, delete the system integration bus.
    1. Navigate to Service Integration > Buses.
    2. Delete the bus named RAMBus.
    3. Navigate to Resources > JMS > Connection Factories.
    4. Delete the factory named RAM Factory. It might be under the scope of the cluster where Rational Asset Manager was installed.
    5. Navigate to Resources > JMS > Topics.
    6. Delete the topic named RAM Cache. It might be located under the scope of the cluster where Rational Asset Manager was installed.
  6. Remove the applications.
    1. Click Applications > Application types > WebSphere enterprise applications in the navigation pane.
    2. Check any of the applications that are installed:
      • RAM1WebApplication
      • com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear
      • ramhelp_warRAMversionString or ramhelp_war (or iehs_war for Rational Asset Manager 7.5.0.2 or earlier)
      • rmcabdgovernprocess_war
      • ramjazz_war (or jazz_war for Rational Asset Manager 7.5.0.2 or earlier)
      • ramjts_war
      • ramccm_war
    3. Click Uninstall.
    4. Click Save to apply the changes to the master configuration.
  7. Locate and delete the storage directories for Rational Asset Manager:
    1. Click Resources > URLs.
    2. Click All scopes.
    3. Many variables are displayed, such as RAM Persist, RAM Local, and RAM Index.
    4. Click every variable and note the values of the variables, which are directories.
    5. Delete all files and folders in those directories. On a WebSphere Application Server ND environment, the Persist directory is a single shared directory, and there is an Index and Local directory for every node in the cluster.
    6. After you delete all of the directories, delete all the variables that are named RAM Persist, RAM Local, RAM Index, and RAM CQJRE
  8. Delete custom properties for IBM Rational Team Concert™:
    1. Click Servers > Server types > WebSphere Application Servers.
    2. Click the name of the server where you deployed Rational Team Concert.
    3. Click Java and Process Management.
    4. Click Process Definition.
    5. Click Java Virtual Machine.
    6. Click Custom Properties.
    7. Select the following properties:
      1. JAZZ_HOME (the value of this variable will be a folder on your hard drive that you will have to delete)
      2. java.awt.headless
      3. org.eclipse.emf.ecore.plugin.EcorePlugin.doNotLoadResourcesPlugin
      4. (if you used an Oracle database) ORACLE_JDBC
      5. (if you used a Microsoft SQL Server database) SQLSERVER_JDBC
    8. Click Delete.
  9. Delete the shared libraries references for Rational Asset Manager:
    1. Click Servers > Server types > WebSphere Application Servers.
    2. Click the name of the server where you deployed Rational Asset Manager.
    3. Click Java and Process Management.
    4. Click Classloader.
    5. Click the Classloader ID.
    6. Click Shared library references.
    7. Select the property that begins with the prefix rlsibmratl. Example: rlsibmratl_812.
    8. Click Delete.
    9. For a WebSphere Application Server Cluster, repeat these steps for each application server in the cluster.
  10. Delete the shared libraries for Rational Asset Manager:
    1. Click Environment > Shared libraries.
    2. Select All scopes.
    3. Click Shared library references.
    4. Select all of the shared libraries that begin with the prefix rlsibmratl. Example: rlsibmratl_812

    3. Click Delete.
    4. Click Save to apply the changes to the master configuration.
  12. Optional: Reconfigure authentication and security settings. If you configured security specifically for Rational Asset Manager, then revert any settings to the previous configuration. If the security settings apply to other applications, do not modify them.
  13. Stop the server. On a cluster, you only need to stop the application server that was running Rational Team Concert.
  14. Navigate to the following directory on your hard drive: WebSphere_install_directory\profiles\profile_name\temp\server_name\
  15. In the server_name directory, delete the following directories:
    • RAM1WebApplication
    • ramhelp_warRAMversionString or ramhelp_war (or iehs_war for Rational Asset Manager 7.5.0.2 or earlier)
    • rmcabdgovernprocess_war
    • ramjazz_war (In a WebSphere Application Server ND environment, this folder is only on the computer with the application server that was running Rational Team Concert
    • ramjts_war
    • ramccm_war

    For a WebSphere Application Server Cluster, delete the above directories on every physical computer in the cell.

  16. Navigate to the following directory on your hard drive: WebSphere_install_directory\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\cell_name\. On a cluster, this directory will be in a subdirectory of the profile of the machine where Deployment Manager is installed.
  17. In the cell_name directory, delete the RTC, ram_jdbc, and ramSharedLibs directories.
  18. Restart the server.
