Uninstalling Operational Decision Manager

Before you uninstall, stop all processes that might access existing Operational Decision Manager databases. In particular, if you use Derby databases, stop the Derby Java™ process, and ensure that your current database directory does not have a residual Derby lock file. The presence of the Derby lock file causes the installation to fail. To remove the Derby lock file, go to <InstallDir>/shared/data/derby/resdb and remove the db.lck file.

Stop all the applications that run with the product, including the server, the local help, and any instance of Rule Designer,Event Designer or Insight Designer.

Manually delete the ODMSample8800 profile for WebSphere® Application Server before you uninstall. The ODMSample8800 profile is created when you start the Sample server. For more information, see Deleting profiles.

If your packages have any dependencies, you must uninstall the packages and their respective dependencies.

You must have the same user privileges to uninstall Operational Decision Manager or Decision Server Insights as you use to install the product on your workstation. Log in to your workstation with the same user account that you use to install the product packages.
