DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Uninstalling DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS)

DB2® ACS is uninstalled automatically when you uninstall the DB2 product. Starting in Version 9.7 Fix Pack 2, you can uninstall only DB2 ACS by using the db2_deinstall command, the DB2 Setup wizard, or a response file.

About this task

To uninstall DB2 ACS, use one of the following methods:

Procedure

Enter the db2_deinstall command with the -F ACS parameter, as follows:
```
db2_deinstall -F ACS
```
In the DB2 Setup wizard, click Work with Existing, and remove the selection of the DB2 ACS component from the DB2 copy already installed.
Add the ACS keyword to your response file, as follows:
```
REMOVE_COMP = ACS
```

What to do next

Check the messages in the log file. The log file is located in the following directories:

For root installations: /tmp/db2_deinstall.log.processID where processID represents the process ID of the DB2 installer
For non-root installations: /tmp/db2_deinstall_userID.log where userID represents the user ID that owns the non-root installation

Ensure that DB2 ACS is removed by using the db2ls command to list all the installed components, as follows:

db2ls -q -a -b base-install-path

where base-install-path represents the directory that you are querying.
