This chapter provides an overview of Oracle AIA Uninstallation and discusses various uninstallation options of Foundation Pack like how to uninstall Foundation Pack using AIA Deinstaller, how to uninstall specific instances of Foundation Pack using manual steps, how to clean the environment post installation and finally how to whether verify uninstallation is complete.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 7.2, "Uninstalling Foundation Pack using AIA Deinstaller"
Section 7.3, "Undeploying a Specific Instance of AIA Foundation Pack Using Manual Steps"
If you have multiple AIA instances, you must manually uninstall the specific AIA instance that you want to undeploy.
Refer to Section 7.3, "Undeploying a Specific Instance of AIA Foundation Pack Using Manual Steps."
To completely uninstall AIA (which means undeploying all AIA instances and removing AIA Home), then you must undeploy all AIA instances except for one instance and then use the De-installer.
If you have deployed the Foundation Pack Demo, undeploy it before you uninstall Foundation Pack, because it does not get undeployed automatically when you uninstall Foundation Pack.
Tip:
Before launching the Deinstaller, ensure that the SOA server is running.
To uninstall Foundation Pack using AIA Deinstaller:
Navigate to AIAHOME/oui/bin.
Launch Deinstaller.
Follow the launch instructions for your platform. Table 7-1 lists the commands you must use based on your platform.

Click Deinstall.
AIA Deinstaller displays a warning message with the following deinstallation options:
Deinstall and delete AIA Home directory. To deinstall and delete AIA Home directory, click Yes.

Deinstall without deleting AIA Home directory. To deinstall without deleting the AIA Home directory, click No.
Choose one of the options.
Click Finish in the Deinstallation Complete screen.

Connect to admin server by running connect()
Enter the domain config by running domainConfig()
Delete Metadata by running deleteMetadata('soa-infra', 'soa_server1','/apps/AIAMetaData/**')
