Uninstalling Unica Platform

Run the Unica Platform uninstaller to uninstall Unica Platform. When you run the uninstaller, the files that were created during the installation process are removed. For example, files such as configuration files, installer registry information, and user data are removed from the computer.

About this task

When you install Unica products, an uninstaller is included in the Uninstall_Product directory, where Product is the name of your product. On Windows™, an entry is also added to the Add or Remove Programs list in the Control Panel.

If you manually remove the files in your installation directory instead of running the uninstaller, the result might be an incomplete installation if you later reinstall an product in the same location. After uninstalling a product, its database is not removed. The uninstaller only removes default files that are created during installation. Any file that is created or generated after installation is not removed.

Note: On UNIX™, the same user account that installed Unica Campaign must run the uninstaller.

Procedure

  1. If you have deployed the Unica Platform web application, undeploy the web application from WebSphere® or WebLogic.
  2. Shut down WebSphere or WebLogic.
  3. Stop the processes that are related to Unica Platform.
  4. If the ddl directory exists in the product installation directory, run the scripts that are provided in the ddl directory to drop tables from the system table database.
