If you uninstall the WebSphere® MQ Version 6.0 Explorer
and intend to install a later release of WebSphere MQ,
or if you install a different release of WebSphere Eclipse
Platform,
you must first remove some configuration files. For each of the users
you have:
- Optional: Save a copy of any WebSphere MQ Explorer
settings you want to keep (such as column schemes, remote queue manager definitions,
and user preferences). To do this:
- Right-click IBM WebSphere MQ in the WebSphere MQ Explorer navigator pane.
- Select Export MQ Explorer settings.
- Select the types of settings you want to export from the list.
- Select a file to save your exported settings in.
- Click OK.
- Close the WebSphere MQ Explorer.
- Optional: Save a copy of any data that user-defined
plug-ins are saving in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\IBM\MQ Explorer\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.mq.explorer.ui,
where username is your user name.
- Delete the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\IBM\MQ Explorer\.metadata
where username is your user name.
- Delete the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\.eclipse
where username is your user name.
- In the following directory, delete any subdirectories. Do not delete
the file config.ini:
path\eclipse\configuration
where path is the full path to the directory where you installed WebSphere Eclipse
Platform. By default this is C:\Program
Files\IBM\Eclipse SDK30.
- Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each of the users you
have.
