All Systems — Non-Packages: Uninstalling Agent for Oracle Application Server 10g

This method for uninstalling Agent for Oracle Application Server 10g applies when the agent was originally installed using non-package formatted deliverables. The term “non-package formatted deliverables” refers to the format of the compressed file used for delivering the Policy Agent 2.2 software. Package formatted deliverables have the string “_SUNWam” in the name of the compressed file. Therefore, non-package formatted deliverables do not have this string in the file name. The following two file names are examples of non-package formatted deliverable files used for Policy Agent 2.2 for Oracle Application Server 10g:

SJS_Oracle_1012_agent_2.2.tar.gz
SJS_Oracle_1012_agent_2.2.zip

This uninstallation process involves two phases as described in the following subsections.
