HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Performing a silent uninstallation

For a silent uninstallation of a master domain manager, a backup master domain manager, a dynamic domain manager, or a backup dynamic domain manager, customize a response file provided in the installation eImage to satisfy your uninstallation requirements.

To perform a silent uninstallation by using a response file template listed in Table 1, perform the following steps:
  1. Ensure that all HCL Workload Automation processes and services are stopped, and that there are no active or pending jobs. For information about stopping the processes and services, see Administration Guide.
  2. Copy the relevant response file to a local directory <local_dir> and edit the file to meet the needs of your environment.
  3. Save the file with your changes.
  4. Open a command-line utility.
  5. Go to the Installation Manager tools directory.
    The default tools directory is:
    On Windows operating systems
    C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools
    On UNIX and Linux operating systems
    /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
  6. Run the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
     imcl.exe input <local_dir>\response_file.xml 
    -log <local_dir>\log_file.xml 
    -acceptLicense
    On UNIX and Linux operating systems
     ./imcl input /<local_dir>/response_file.xml 
    -log /<local_dir>/log_file.xml 
    -acceptLicense
    where
    • The response_file.xml is the name of the response file to be used for uninstallation.
    • The log_file is the name of the log file that records the result of the silent uninstall action.
    Note: For more information about the Installation Manager silent uninstall command, see the Installation Manager Knowledge Center.
