Uninstalling WebSphere Business Monitor

You use an uninstall procedure to uninstall the components of WebSphere® Business Monitor that were previously installed by the Launchpad.

The uninstallation procedure removes any WebSphere Application Server resources that were created by the installation procedure, excluding the installation directory and some miscellaneous log files. The WebSphere Business Monitor databases uninstallation procedure removes only the files used to create these databases, but the databases are not removed (dropped). You can then use the DB2® Control Center or a DB2 command to remove (drop) the databases manually according to your needs.

Important: The WebSphere Business Monitor uninstallation does not remove or drop any created WebSphere Business Monitor databases. Before installing the WebSphere Business Monitor and creating the WebSphere Business Monitor database, you must either remove or drop all databases that were previously created for any previous installation of WebSphere Business Monitor if you want to use the same databases names. Alternatively, you can specify databases names that are different from any previously created WebSphere Business Monitor databases.

To uninstall WebSphere Business Monitor and its installed features and databases, complete the following steps:

Note: If control does not return to the "Add/Remove" Programs tool, it may be due to the WebSphere Application Server still running. Part of the uninstall starts this server, and sometimes it remains up. Use the WebSphere Application Server start menu to stop the Server1 application server.
Note: If security is enabled on the Monitor Server machine or the Dashboard Client machine, disable it prior to proceeding with the uninstallation.
  1. Run unconfigureMonitorCrossCell script located under <Monitor_Home_Dir>\install\monsrvr\configuration\crosscell to remove SI Bus configuration
    Note: Remember to run the unconfigureCrossCell script on the BPEL Process Server.
  2. Run the WebSphere Business Monitor uninstaller program as follows:
    1. On the Windows® platform, use the Add or Remove Programs icon on the Control Panel. In the Installed Programs list, find IBM® WebSphere Business Monitor V6.0 and click Change/Remove. The uninstaller starts.
    2. On the AIX® platform, run the uninstaller.bin program in the _uninst folder under the WebSphere Business Monitor installation directory. The uninstaller starts.
    Note: Comment re: JVM – On AIX, JVM used by uninstaller is the same as used by installer. Therefore, the install JVM must be in the same location during uninstall.
  3. On the WebSphere Business Monitor uninstaller Welcome page, click Next.
  4. On the Installed Features panel, select the features you want to uninstall, and click Next. The uninstaller starts to remove the selected features.
  5. On the Progress panel, the progress bar shows the status of the uninstallation. All buttons are disabled when this panel is displayed.
  6. When the uninstallation is completed, on the Finish panel, click Finish to exit.
  7. If you are uninstalling the Monitor Server component then you must delete the following directory after the uninstallation is complete:

    <WPS_Profile_Dir>\databases\com.ibm.ws.sib\<Node_Name>.server1-MONITOR.<Cell_Name>.Bus

    Where:
    • <WPS_Profile_Dir> is the location of the WebSphere Process Server profile. The default is C:\IBM\WebSphere\ProcServer\profiles\monitor.
    • <Node_Name> and <Cell_Name> are the WebSphere Process Server names of the Node and Cell on which the Monitor Server component has been installed respectively.
  8. Remove log files in %temp% directory
  9. Uninstall the prerequisites that have been installed. Consider the following points when uninstalling the prerequisites:
