You can uninstall an interim fix for IBM® Business Process Manager using
the command-line mode of the Installation Manager.
Before you begin
You must perform the uninstallation
using the same user account that you used to install the product packages.
Important: An interim fix cannot be uninstalled when another
interim fix has a dependency on it, unless the dependent interim fix
is also selected to be uninstalled. If you try to remove an interim
fix that has a dependency on it from another interim fix, you will
receive an error message.
Procedure
To uninstall an interim fix silently, complete the following
steps:
- Stop
all software for the product that you are updating. Close
programs and stop servers that have profiles for this product.
- Open a command prompt, and change directories to the /eclipse/tools directory
under Installation Manager.
Important: On Windows, start your command prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run
as administrator.
- Make the appropriate replacements and run the following
command:
imcl uninstall fixID -installationDirectory installationDirectory -log logLocation
- Replace fixID with
the ID of the interim fix. The ID can be found in the repository.xml file
in the directory where you extracted the interim fix, in the fix
id element. For example:
<fix id="8.5.5.0-WS-BPMADVWESB-IFJR39658" version="0.0.0.20111115_1047" offeringId="EnhancedFix" offeringVersion="0.0.0.EnhancedFix">
- Replace installationDirectory with
the location where you installed IBM Business Process Manager.
- Replace logLocation with
the location and file name to log the information.
For example:C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools>imcl uninstall 8.5.5.0-WS-BPMADVWESB-IFJR39658 -installationDirectory C:\IBM\BPM85 -log logfix.txt
Results
The log (specified by the -log parameter)
contains no error messages if uninstalling is successful. The command
line shows a message that the fix was uninstalled.
