You can do a silent uninstall of Editor Application.
About this task
To do a silent uninstall, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- For a single server or when uninstalling the first node
in a IBM Docs cluster,
the uninstall is performed from the IBM Docs node itself,
not from the Deployment Manager node:
- Log in to the system where you installed IBM Docs, with the
user who runs the server or cluster node process.
- Open a command prompt and change to the docs_install_root directory.
Examples:
- /opt/IBM/IBMDocs/installer (Linux)
- C:\install\Docs\installer (Windows)
- Run the uninstall script:
- ./uninstall.sh on Linux
- uninstall.bat on Windows
- For each additional cluster node:
- Log in to the system where you installed IBM Docs, with the
user who runs the cluster node process.
- Open a command prompt and change to the docs_install_root directory.
Examples:
- /opt/IBM/IBMDocs/installer (Linux)
- C:\install\Docs\installer (Windows)
- Run the uninstall script:
- ./uninstall_node.sh on Linux
- uninstall.bat on Windows
Note:
- You can set options for the uninstall scripts:
-wasadminID {name}
: Specifies the user name of WebSphere® Application Server
administrator. Prompts the user to enter the name during uninstall
if it is not specified.
-wasadminPW {password}
: Specifies the password
of WebSphere Application
Server administrator. Prompts the user to enter the password during
uninstall if it is not specified.
- The IBM Docs product
copied some jars to the Plugin folder of WebSphere® Application Server.
If other processes (for example, Deployment Manager or another profile's
server) occupy these JAR files, you see errors such as The
process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process. The failure does not affect other applications
in WebSphere Application
Server. However, to avoid further conflicts, it is best that you manually
remove these JAR files, after you stop all WebSphere Application Servers. IBM Docs related JAR
files are named as follows:
- com.ibm.json4j_xxx
- com.ibm.langware.xxx
- com.ibm.rcp.spellcheck.xxx
- com.ibm.rcp.textanalyzerxxx
- org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.4.0.xxx
- com.ibm.lconn.spellchecker.httpxxx
- httpqueue.channel.jar
Results
When you finish uninstalling, check the docs_uninstall.log file
for errors, and repeat this task if necessary. The log file is in
the docs_install_root(for example,/opt/IBM/IBMDocs)/logs directory.
