Using the automated Uninstall for Unix, Linux, and AIX systems

For Unix, Linux and AIX server deployments, a shell script is provided that automates the uninstall process.

Procedure

Note the Location of the IBM Connections Customizations directory.
The Ephox Editor for IBM Connections uninstaller needs to be provided with the location of your IBM Connections Customization path. The value for this is provided by the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH variable within the WebSphere Application Server. For more information on IBM Connections customizations and the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH see the IBM® Connections documentation on customizations.
Note: The Ephox Editor for IBM Connections uninstaller only requires the root customizations directory as provided by this variable.
Note the Location of the IBM Connections Web Resources Provisioning directory.
The Ephox editors for IBM Connections installer needs to be provided with the path to your Web Resources Provisioning directory. This folder allows extensions for Connections to be installed. For information on locating the IBM Connections Web Resources Provisioning directory, please see the IBM Connections Documentation Extending JavaScript in IBM Connections.
Run the Uninstall script.
The uninstallation script, uninstall.sh, is located in the root directory of the Ephox editors for IBM Connections package. This script can be executed from any AIX, UNIX, OS X or LINUX environment that has SSH access to the IBM Connections server. To uninstall the Ephox editors for IBM Connections, execute the uninstall.sh script as follows:
```
./uninstall.sh USER@HOSTNAME CUSTOMIZATIONS_DIR WEBRESOURCES_DIR
```
This script requires the following parameters:
- USER The user name to use for SSH access to the IBM Connections server. This user must have write access to both the Customizations directory and the Web Resources Provisioning directory.
- HOSTNAME The hostname for the IBM Connections server. If running the script on the same machine that the integration is to be installed on, localhost should be used.
- CUSTOMIZATIONS_DIR The exact value of the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH variable.
- WEBRESOURCES_DIR The location of the Web Resources Provisioning directory.
  Note: This script will automatically perform a backup of the information currently contained in the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH/javascript/ephox/textbox/connections directory and the 'Web Resources Provisioning' directory. The backup will be contained in a subdirectory of Textbox.io. This ensures previously customized configuration is not deleted by accident. If you do not wish for a backup to be created run the uninstall script with the optional --no-backup parameter, for example:
```
./uninstall.sh --no-backup USER@HOSTNAME CUSTOMIZATIONS_DIR WEBRESOURCES_DIR
```
The Ephox Editor for IBM Connections integration files in the Web Resources Provisioning directory will not be backed up regardless of whether --no-backup is used.
Update the IBM Connections cache. To ensure that the Ephox Editor is immediately removed and made unavailable the IBM Connections server cache must be notified to update itself.
To update the IBM Connections server cache, perform the steps outlined by the IBM Connections Post-Customization documentation.
Note: If after performing this step, the Ephox Editor is still available (see the next verification step on how to verify the uninstall), then restarting the Common enterprise application may be necessary to force a cache update.
Verify Uninstall.
Browse to the edit screen for a wiki or blog to verify that the Ephox Editor is no longer available as the rich text editor within IBM Connections and that rich text editing has reverted to the default editor.
