Uninstalling a Cartridge

There are two ways of uninstalling a cartridge:

• Uninstalling a Cartridge Using Scripts

• Uninstalling a Cartridge Using Design Studio

Uninstalling a Cartridge Using Scripts

Run the uninstallation script uninstallCartridge to uninstall the cartridge. The script executes the following tasks:

• Deconfigures cartridge-specific NEs using the SACT.

• Undeploys the cartridge service model (only if the cartridge service model is already deployed) using the SADT.

• Removes the cartridge-specific jar files and cpp library file from the ASAP environment.

For more information on the SACT and the SADT, refer to the ASAP System Administrator's Guide.

To uninstall the cartridge:

1. Run the uninstallCartridge script. At the prompt, type:

   uninstallCartridge SAR_file.Timestamp.sar
   

2. The script prompts you to enter the NEP server name.

3. The script prompts you for the values of the following parameters:

   • WebLogic Hostname

   • WebLogic HTTP Port

   • WebLogic Login User ID

   • WebLogic Login Password

The script unloads the NEP-NE configuration and CSDL-ASDL configuration from SARM database. It also removes the cartridge specific jar files from the ASAP environment.

Uninstalling a Cartridge Using Design Studio

To uninstall a cartridge using Studio:

1. Connect to your environment using the Connect button.

2. Select the necessary cartridge from the Environment Cartridge list in Studio 7.2 and click Undeploy.

3. Verify the Environment Cartridge list. If the check box for the cartridges is unchecked, it means that the cartridge is uninstalled.
