Uninstalling MQIPT version 2.0

The procedure for uninstalling MQIPT depends on the platform on which it was installed, and the way it was installed.

Note: If you run MQIPT as a system service, only the installation of MQIPT that installed the service can be used to remove it. For example, if we have two MQIPT installations, one in C:\MQIPT1 and one in C:\mqipt2, and you run the command C:\MQIPT1\bin\mqiptService -install C:\mqipt1, then only the mqiptService command from the C:\MQIPT1 installation can subsequently be used to remove the service. Attempting to remove the service using a different installation causes error MQCPE083.

All of the following sections, except the last, assume that you installed MQIPT by using a system installable image.

  1. Make appropriate backups in case you later have to restore any data. See Making backups for details.
  2. Make sure that you are logged in as root.
  3. Prevent the system from trying to start MQIPT automatically by removing the entry for MQIPT from the inittab file: 
    cd /usr/opt/mqipt/bin
./mqiptService -remove
  4. Run the installp command: 
    installp -u mqipt-RT


Uninstalling from HP-UX systems

Uninstalling following a generic UNIX installation

Make appropriate backups in case you later have to restore any data. See Making backups for details.

If MQIPT was not installed using a system installable image, we can uninstall it by deleting the directory structure into which it was installed.

If MQIPT was configured to run as a system service, remove the service before uninstalling the code.
