Before you attempt to remove the WebSphere MQ client, check that no WebSphere MQ client application is running on your system.
To remove the WebSphere MQ client, you must first find out the package names of the components currently installed on your system. To list the package names with their version information, enter the following commands:
rpm -q -a | grep MQ rpm -q -a | grep gsk
Alternatively, to list the package names without their version information, enter the following commands:
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{NAME}\n" | grep MQ rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{NAME}\n" | grep gsk
To remove a component, with package name MQSeriesSamples for example, enter the following command:
rpm -e MQSeriesSamples
Some of the components are dependent on others. The rpm command does not remove a component if others are dependent on it. For this reason, you must remove the components in an order such that each component you remove has no other component dependent on it. To list all the components on which a specific component depends, MQSeriesClient for example, enter the following command:
rpm -q --requires MQSeriesClient
Alternatively, remove the components in the order shown in Table 3. Remove only those components that you have installed on your system.
