Troubleshooting Uninstallation

Uninstallation is usually straightforward when the previous installation instructions have been followed correctly. This topic describes how to recover from a failed uninstallation.

Recovering from a Failed Uninstallation

For server-based Siebel products, if you encounter any issue with the uninstallation process, you can run the uninstallation again. Doing so uses the backup made by the uninstaller under the backup directory (ses_BAK, for Siebel Enterprise Server) to reconstruct your original installation. You can then address the cause of the failure and run the uninstallation for a third time to complete the uninstallation process.

NOTE:  The recovery mechanism can be used only if the uninstallation process fails. It cannot be used to undo a successful uninstallation.
