Uninstalling the product on i5/OS

You can uninstall a WebSphere Application Server for i5/OS product by running commands from your iSeries server.

Overview

Use this procedure to uninstall WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for i5/OS, V6.1.

Procedure

1. Uninstall WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for i5/OS from your iSeries server. To uninstall the product, run the following command from the Qshell command line:

   app_server_root/bin/uninstall

   To uninstall the product and all user data (profiles), run the following command:

   app_server_root/bin/uninstall
      -OPT removeProfilesOnUninstall="true"

   Uninstalling WebSphere Application Server from the iSeries server removes all the product libraries and directories. If you do not specify the option to delete all the profiles when you invoke the uninstall command, the user-defined information is not removed and can be reused if you reinstall the product. If you later decide that you do not need the user-defined data, you can manually remove it. User data consists of these items:

   • All directories and files under the profile_root directory, which is the directory specified as the value for the profilePath parameter when creating the profile with the manageprofiles command. Manually delete any files or directories that you no longer need.

   • Any HTTP server directives (such as LoadModule or Alias) that are in an HTTP Server Configuration file to enable WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for i5/OS for that configuration. Remove the directives either manually or automatically using the following instructions.

2. Remove HTTP Server directives.

   1. Start your JavaScript-enabled browser.

   2. In the URL location or address window, type http://your.server.name:2001, where your.server.name is the host name of your iSeries server. Press Enter.

   3. Enter your iSeries user ID and password. Your user profile must have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities. The i5/OS Tasks page is displayed.

   4. Click IBM HTTP Server for i5/OS. The IBM HTTP Server for iSeries page is displayed.

   5. Select Manage. In the Server drop-down list on the upper right, select the HTTP server instance to change.

   6. Expand Server Properties in the left navigation bar.

   7. Scroll down and select WebSphere Application Server.

   8. Select Disable Servlets and JSPs.

   9. Click OK. This removes the WebSphere Application Server directives from the Apache configuration file and returns to the main configuration page.

3. Remove Lotus Domino Web server directives.

   1. From a Lotus Notes client connected to the Domino server, edit the Domino document, which is found in the Domino server Domino Directory (names.nsf) to remove the DSAPI filter configuration from the Domino server document.

   2. Within the server document, click the Internet Protocols tab and then click the HTTP tab.

   3. Remove the following path entry from the DSAPI filter file names field: /QSYS.LIB/QWAS61.LIB/QSVTDOMINO.SRVPGM.

   4. Save and exit the Domino Server document to complete the removal of the DSAPI filter configuration from the Domino server document.

   5. Enter the Work with Domino Servers (WRKDOMSVR) command on a CL command line to remove the WebSphereInit directive from the notes.ini file.

   6. For the appropriate Domino server instance, select option 13 (Edit NOTES.INI) to edit the server notes.ini file.

   7. Remove the WebSphereInit directive from the notes.ini file.

   8. Restart the Lotus Domino Web server.

Results

After completing the procedure, the WebSphere Application Server product is uninstalled.
