About this task
You can use the sample response file to uninstall Rational
Focal Point silently. You must modify the parameter values for your
environment. Refer the topic on
working in silent mode in the
Installation
Manager information center.
Procedure
To uninstall Rational Focal Point silently:
- Create a response file that contains the commands and inputs
for the uninstallation process. For instructions to create and use
a response file, see Creating a response file manually.
- Open a command prompt and change to the eclipse directory: For example: cd c:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- Enter the following command:
- On Windows systems: IBMIM.exe
-silent input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name
- On Linux systems: ./imcl
input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name
Note: The commands could change based on the version of
Installation
Manager.
For more information, refer the topics on
Working in silent mode in the
Installation
Manager information center.
What to do next
- The uninstallation process does not delete the application database. Rational Focal Point can
be installed again, and connected to the existing database. Delete
the database manually if you do not require it for a future use.
- In a cluster topology, repeat the uninstallation process for each
node.
