Uninstalling runtime components in console mode

Remove the runtime components using the command line interface.

Use the uninstall wizard to remove this product, do not use the native uninstallation program. In some circumstances on HP-UX systems running Version 11.23 only, and on Linux (POWER platform) systems, the uninstall wizard might not operate correctly. If you encounter this problem, use the following command invocation, with the appropriate parameters:
java uninstaller.jar
For information about console mode and alternative modes available, see Modes of installation and uninstallation. To invoke the uninstaller in console mode complete the following steps:
  1. Stop all running processes that use any part of WebSphere Message Broker (brokers, Configuration Manager, and the User Name Server) before uninstalling. Use the mqsilist (list resources) command to check which components are running. Stop each component using the mqsistop command.
  2. On Windows and Linux (x86 platform), end any active sessions of the Message Broker Toolkit.
  3. If you do not plan to reinstall on this computer, delete all of the runtime components. When you delete a component, all its associated data and resources are deleted. Use the following commands to do this: mqsideletebroker command, mqsideleteconfigmgr command, and mqsideleteusernameserver command.
  4. If you have created DB2 or Derby databases on Windows with the mqsicreatedb command, delete them with the mqsideletedb command. If you delete the last database, the Database Instance Manager is also deleted (the Database Instance Manager controls all appropriate databases in a single system; if you have another installation, this component might not be deleted if databases associated with the other installation remain). Databases created by the Default Configuration wizard can also be deleted in this way.
  5. Invoke the uninstallation program in console mode from outside the installation directory, specifying the full path to ensure that the folders are removed during uninstallation.
    /install_dir/_uninst_runtime/uninstaller -console
    Where install_dir is the home directory of your WebSphere Message Broker installation. If you accepted the default location during installation, this directory will be as follows:
    • On Windows, C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\6.0
    • On AIX, HP-UX and Solaris, /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0
    • On Linux, /opt/ibm/mqsi/6.0
  6. When invoked, the uninstaller presents text-based screens on the console that you can navigate between using the following options:
    • 1 next
    • 2 previous
    • 3 cancel
    • 4 redisplay
    The uninstaller asks you to confirm that you want to uninstall the product and that the location it is uninstalling from is correct. When you have responded to these questions, the uninstallation starts.
