Uninstalling the Siebel Servers

The uninstallation process is based on the Siebel products installed in a specific directory. The Uninstaller executable will uninstall only those products installed into the Uninstaller's parent directory. For example, if you navigate to the $SIEBEL_ROOT/_uninst directory, the Uninstaller only uninstalls products in the $SIEBEL_ROOT directory.

CAUTION:  Do not delete Siebel product directories to uninstall products. To successfully uninstall, you must use the uninstaller created during the installation process.

To successfully uninstall, the user performing the operation must be either the same user or in the same group as the user who performed the installation.

CAUTION:  When removing servers in an Enterprise, always remove the Siebel Gateway last, after all Siebel Servers in the Enterprise served by the Gateway are removed. Siebel Servers should be removed second to last.

To uninstall a Siebel Server

  1. Stop the Siebel Server process.
  2. Navigate to $SIEBEL_ROOT/_uninst.

    3. NOTE:  If you are attempting to uninstall an incomplete or unsuccessful installation and you do not see the _uninst file in the $SIEBEL_ROOT directory, contact Technical Support for assistance.

  3. Enter:

    4. ./uninstaller

    The Uninstaller screen appears, listing the products that have been installed in this directory.

  4. From the Uninstaller screen, choose the products to uninstall, in this case, the Siebel Server, and any other Siebel applications displayed, and click Next.

    5. NOTE:  If you have Siebel Gateway, Siebel Server, and Siebel DB Server all installed into $SiebelRoot and want to uninstall all of them, then you can select all of them on this screen.

    The Uninstaller Verification screen appears.

  5. Verify the products to be uninstalled and click Next.

    6. The Uninstaller Progress screen appears, showing the progress of file removal.

  6. Click Finish when the Uninstaller displays the Uninstaller Success screen.

You can use srvredit, a command line utility, to remove a Siebel Server from the Siebel Enterprise Server as follows:

srvredit -g SiebelGateway -e SiebelEnterprise -s SiebelServer -x \$Server

You can also use srvredit to remove a Siebel Enterprise as follows:

srvredit -g SiebelGateway -e SiebelEnterprise -x \$Enterprise

NOTE:  You cannot use srvredit to remove files.
