Uninstalling Message Queue on Windows

The following instructions explain how to uninstall Message Queue on Windows.

To Remove Message Queue on Windows

1. Stop any running client applications.

2. Stop any running brokers. (You will be prompted for the admin user name and password.)

   imqcmd shutdown bkr [-b hostName:port]

   If you had installed the broker as a Windows service, you can stop it as follows:

   1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings, then Control Panel.

   2. Double-click the Administrative Tools icon, then the Services icon.

   3. In the Services panel, select the Message Queue Broker entry, then click Stop.

   4. Close the Services panel.

3. Unless you want to retain dynamic data, the Message Queue flat file user repository, and the Message Queue access control properties file associated with each broker instance, remove this data using the following command.

   imqbrokerd -name instanceName -remove instance

4. Delete the folder containing the Message Queue 3.7 UR1 files.

   This is the same folder into which you decompressed the mq3_7-ent-win.zip file when installing Message Queue 3.7 UR1.
