Uninstalling a Sametime Bandwidth Manager server node in a cluster on Linux or Windows

Uninstall IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager on a server running Linux™ or Windows™. This server runs on IBM WebSphere® Application Server, similar to other Sametime servers, but requires a different process for uninstallation.

Before you begin

On the server node where you will uninstall the Bandwidth Manager, make sure the appropriate IBM WebSphere Application Server instance is running.

Procedure

On the server where you will uninstall the Bandwidth Manager, use a command line terminal or prompt, navigate to the \TMP\BWM folder containing the extracted uninstallation files.
Run the following command to uninstall the Bandwidth Manager:
- Linux
```
WAS_install_root/profiles/Profile_name/bin/ws_ant.sh uninstall
```
  where:
  - Profile_name is the WebSphere Application Server profile name where the Bandwidth Manager application is installed, typically "AppServerProfile".
  - WAS_install_root is the root directory where WebSphere Application Server is installed. In Linux it is typically /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer.
  For example:
```
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppServerProfile/bin/ws_ant.sh uninstall
```
- Microsoft™ Windows
```
WAS_install_root\profiles\Profile_name\bin\ws_ant.bat uninstall
```
  where:
  - Profile_name is the WebSphere Application Server profile name where the Bandwidth Manager application is installed, typically "AppServerProfile".
  - WAS_install_root is the root directory where WebSphere Application Server is installed. In Microsoft Windows this is typically C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer and in Linux it is typically /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer.
    Attention: In Windows, you must use the DOS-shortened versions of the directory names; for example: C:/PROGRA~1/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer.
  For example:
```
C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppServerProfile\bin\ws_ant.bat uninstall
```
Note: Do not copy and paste the paths and parameters, because control characters may inadvertently be included in the command. For best results, type the command manually.

Results

The script makes the following changes:

It removes the datasource DS_BWM created when you installed Bandwidth Manager.
It removes these WebSphere Application Server applications: BandwidthManagerSIPFrontend, BW_Pool_Application, and BandwidthManager.
It removes the Bandwidth Manager node from the Sametime Servers portlet node.

What to do next

If you performed any manual steps during the original installation (such as LDAP federated repository configurations), you must now undo or reverse those steps manually.
