17 Deinstalling Enterprise Manager Cloud Control

This chapter describes how you can deinstall Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (the entire Enterprise Manager system, or one or more Oracle Management Services). In particular, this chapter covers the following:

Prerequisites

Before you deinstall Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, follow these steps:

  1. Deconfigure and delete Oracle Management Service (OMS):

    $<OMS_HOME>/bin/omsca delete -full

    Note:

    You are prompted to confirm your action, and furnish the AdminServer credentials and the repository database details such as the database host name, listener port, SID, and password. Once you provide the required details, the command automatically stops the OMS, Oracle WebLogic Server, and also Oracle WebTier.

  2. Shut down Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent) by running the following command from the Management Agent home:

    $<AGENT_HOME>/bin/emctl stop agent

  3. If you want to deinstall the entire Enterprise Manager system, including Oracle Management Repository (Management Repository) that is configured in your database, then follow these steps:

    1. Ensure that there are no SYSMAN users logged in.

    2. Drop the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control schema (SYSMAN schema) and the Metadata schema (MDS schema) from the Management Repository by running the following command from the OMS home:

      $<OMS_HOME>/sysman/admin/emdrep/bin/RepManager <database_host> <repository_database_port> <repository_database_sid> -action dropall -dbUser <repository_database_user> -dbPassword <repository_database_password> -dbRole <repository_database_user_role> -reposName <repository_name> -reposPassword <repository_password> -mwHome <middleware_home> -mwOraHome <middleware_ora_home> -oracleHome <OMS_HOME>

      Note:

      • For Microsoft Windows, invoke RepManager.bat.

      • RepManager 12c and 11.1 support -action dropall (drops SYSMAN as well as SYSMAN_MDS) and -action drop (drops only SYSMAN). However, RepManager 10.2.0.5 supports -action drop (drops only SYSMAN).

      • The action dropall might not drop all the repository objects. For learn more about this issue and the workaround to be used, see My Oracle Support note 1365820.1.

      • If you want to drop the Enterprise Manager schema completely, then use the RepManager available in the OMS home. Do not use the one in database home because it cannot remove the Enterprise Manager schema completely.

    3. Manually delete the data files mgmt.dbf and mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf from the database home.

    WARNING:

    Once the Management Repository is dropped, it CANNOT be retrieved. Therefore, drop the Management Repository ONLY IF you want to deinstall the entire Enterprise Manager Cloud Control system, that is, all your OMSes, Management Agents, and also the Management Repository. If you want to deinstall only an OMS (additional OMS installation), then do not drop the Management Repository.

Deinstallation Procedure

This section describes the following:

Deinstalling in Graphical Mode

To deinstall Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in graphical mode, follow these steps:

Note:

Deinstall the components in the order described in this procedure. Otherwise, the installation wizard displays an error.

  1. Deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) following the instructions outlined in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server. See the chapter that describes how you can deinstall the software.

    The Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server is available in the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation library available at:

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html

    Note:

    Deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) only if it was installed by the installation wizard while installing the Enterprise Manager system.

  2. Invoke the installer from the OMS home by running the following command:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeallfiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    Note:

    • You can invoke the installer even from the directory where you downloaded the software. For example, <software_location>/.

    • The -invPtrLoc parameter is supported only on UNIX platforms, and not on Microsoft Windows platforms.

    • When you run runInstaller -help, you will see the option -nowarningonremovefiles listed. This option is currently not supported and has no effect even if you use it.

    Note:

    When you invoke runInstaller or setup.exe, if the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard does not appear, then it is possible that you do not access to the /stage directory.

    There is a classpath variable that the installation wizard computes for OPatch as ../stage/Components/, and when the TEMP variable is set to /tmp, the installation wizard tries to look for the opatch JAR file in the /tmp/../stage directory, which is equivalent to /stage. However, if you do not have the permission on /stage, then the installation wizard can hang. Under such circumstances, verify if you have access to the /stage directory. If you do not have access to it, then set the TEMP variable to a location where the install user has access to, and then relaunch the installation wizard.

  3. In the installation wizard, on the My Oracle Support Details screen, click Installed Products.

  4. On the Inventory screen, select the plug-in homes, and click Remove.

  5. On the Inventory screen, select the sbin home, and click Remove.

  6. On the Inventory screen, select the Java Development Kit (JDK) home, and click Remove.

    Note:

    Deinstall JDK only if it was installed by the installation wizard while installing the Enterprise Manager system. Otherwise, you can skip this step.

    Note:

    After deinstalling JDK, do NOT exit the installer. If you exit the installer inadvertently, then follow these steps:

    1. Manually download and install JDK 1.6 v24+ on the OMS host. If you already have this supported version, then you can reuse it.

    2. Invoke the installer again and pass the absolute path to the location where you have JDK:

      $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -jreLoc <JDK_HOME> [-removeallfiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

  7. On the Inventory screen, select the Oracle WebTier home, and click Remove.

  8. On the Inventory screen, select the following, and click Remove.

    • OMS home

    • Management Agent home

    • Oracle Common directory

  9. On the Inventory screen, click Close to exit the wizard.

  10. Manually delete the middleware home:

    For UNIX platforms:

    rm -rf <absolute_path_to_middleware_home>

    For Microsoft Windows platforms:

    del <absolute_path_to_middleware_home>

Note:

If you see an error stating that the middleware home could not be deleted because of a long path, then shorten the middleware home name in one of the following ways:

  • Rename the middleware home to a short name.

    For example, change C:\Oracle\Middleware to C:\OR\MW.

  • Mount a drive to the middleware home path.

    For example, if C:\Oracle\Middleware\oms\bin is the directory that is causing an issue, then shorten the path in such a way that path length decreases to a reasonable extent (the file path limits differ from one operating system to another).

    Mount C:\Oracle\Middleware\oms to drive Z.

    • Navigate to drive Z, and deleted the files:

      prompt>Z:

      prompt>del bin

    • Navigate to the middleware home, and delete the leftover files:

      prompt:>C:

      prompt>del C:\Oracle\Middleware\

Deinstalling in Silent Mode

To deinstall Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in silent mode, follow these steps:

Note:

Deinstall the components in the order described in this procedure. Otherwise, the installation wizard displays an error.

  1. Deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) following the instructions outlined in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server. See the chapter that describes how you can deinstall the software.

    The Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server is available in the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation library available at:

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html

    Note:

    Deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) only if it was installed by the installation wizard while installing the Enterprise Manager system.

  2. Deinstall the plug-in homes:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={absolute_path_to_plug-in_home}" ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeallfiles -invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    Note:

    • You can invoke the installer even from the directory where you downloaded the software. For example, <software_location>/.

      If you invoke the installer from here, then do NOT pass -removeallfiles.

    • When you run runInstaller -help, you will see the option -nowarningonremovefiles listed. This option is currently not supported and has no effect even if you use it.

    • To deinstall multiple plug-ins, enter the plug-in homes separated by a comma.

    • The -invPtrLoc parameter is supported only on UNIX platforms, and not on Microsoft Windows platforms.

    For example,

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={/home/oracle/middleware/agent/plugins/oracle.sysman.ssa.oms.plugin_12.1.0.1.0,/home/oracle/middleware/agent/plugins/oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_12.1.0.1.0}" ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/middleware/oms -removeAllFiles -invPtrLoc /home/oracle/oraInst.loc

  3. Deinstall the sbin home:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={absolute_path_to_sbin_home}" ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeAllFiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    For example,

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={/home/oracle/middleware/agent/sbin}" ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/middleware/oms -removeAllFiles -invPtrLoc /home/oracle/oraInst.loc

  4. Deinstall the Java Development Kit (JDK) home:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={absolute_path_to_jdk_home}" ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeAllFiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    For example,

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={/home/oracle/middleware/jdk16}" ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/middleware/oms -removeAllFiles -invPtrLoc /home/oracle/oraInst.loc

    Note:

    Deinstall JDK only if it was installed by the installation wizard while installing the Enterprise Manager system. Otherwise, you can skip this step.

  5. Manually download and install JDK 1.6 v24+ on the OMS host. If you already have this supported version, then you can reuse it.

    You must reinstall JDK because the installer has a dependency on it. The new JDK can be installed anywhere on the OMS host, not necessarily in the same location where it existed before. However, ensure that you pass the -jreLoc parameter (as described in the following steps) while invoking the installer to indicate the location where you have installed the JDK.

  6. Deinstall the Oracle WebTier home:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={absolute_path_to_web_tier}" -jreLoc <JDK_HOME> ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeAllFiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    For example,

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={/home/oracle/middleware/Oracle_WT}" -jreLoc </home/oracle/jdk> ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/middleware/oms -removeAllFiles -invPtrLoc /home/oracle/oraInst.loc

  7. Deinstall the OMS, the Management Agent, and the Oracle Common directory:

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={absolute_path_to_oracle_homes_and_directories_to_be_deinstalled}" -jreLoc <JDK_HOME> ORACLE_HOME=<absolute_path_to_oms_home> [-removeAllFiles] [-invPtrLoc <absolute_path_to_oraInst.loc>]

    Note:

    The argument REMOVE_HOMES accepts more than one path separated by a comma.

    For example,

    $<OMS_HOME>/oui/bin/runInstaller -deinstall -silent "REMOVE_HOMES={/home/oracle/middleware/oms,/home/oracle/middleware/agent/core/12.1.0.1.0,/home/oracle/middleware/oracle_common}" -jreLoc </home/oracle/jdk> ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/middleware/oms -removeAllFiles -invPtrLoc /home/oracle/oraInst.loc

  8. Manually delete the middleware home:

    For UNIX platforms:

    rm -rf <absolute_path_to_middleware_home>

    For Microsoft Windows platforms:

    del <absolute_path_to_middleware_home>

After You Deinstall

The Oracle homes you deinstalled are deregistered from the central inventory. However, some files might still remain in these Oracle homes. You might also see the OMS instance base directory and the Oracle home for Web Tier. You can manually delete these files and directories.

You must also manually delete the auto-start script titled S98gcstartup. To do so, navigate to the /etc/rc.d/ directory, and search for the auto-start script S98gcstartup. This script is usually present in a subdirectory within the /etc/rc.d/ directory. Navigate to the subdirectory where the script is found and delete the script. For example, /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98gcstartup.
