Uninstalling Sametime Gateway on Windows

Uninstall IBM® Sametime® Gateway on a server running Microsoft™ Windows™.

Before you begin

Uninstalling Sametime Gateway Server automatically removes WebSphere® Application Server as well. If you are reinstalling Sametime Gateway Server, there's no need to uninstall DB2® first. If you need to uninstall DB2, uninstall it separately according instructions in the DB2 Information Center.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers associated with the Sametime server in the order shown. For more information, see Starting and stopping servers running on WebSphere Application Server.
    1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console on the deployment manager and stop the node agent for the server (or servers if you are working in a cluster).
    2. Stop the Sametime server.
    3. Stop WebSphere Application Server.
    4. Stop the deployment manager.
  2. Close all browsers and command windows that are accessing the server you plan to uninstall.
  3. Open a command window and navigate to the stgw_server_root/_uninst directory. For additional information about default paths, see Directory conventions.
  4. Type the appropriate command to start the uninstall program:
    • For GUI mode, type uninstaller.exe
    • For console mode, type uninstaller.exe -console
  5. Select the language you wish to use for the uninstall procedure and click OK. The Welcome screen is displayed.
  6. Click Next to proceed. The Sametime Gateway Server features screen is displayed.
  7. Select the check box for all available components/features and click Next. The Uninstall summary screen is displayed.
  8. Click Uninstall to begin the procedure. The progress is displayed on the screen.
  9. When the uninstall is complete, read the summary information and click Finish to exit the wizard.
  10. Remove all Sametime Gateway Server install folders from your computer.

What to do next

WebSphere Application Server, the Sametime Gateway Profile, and the Sametime Gateway application must all be uninstalled before installing a new version of Sametime Gateway. If all components are not removed, the VPD registry may treat any new installation as an additional instance of Sametime Gateway rather than as an initial instance.

If WebSphere Application Server did not uninstall completely, refer to Manually removing WebSphere Application Server for instructions on manually removing WebSphere Application Server.
