Uninstalling the WebLogic Server 8.1 SSM on Solaris or Linux

To run the graphical mode uninstallation program, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the uninstallation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, the uninstallation program automatically starts in console mode.

Stop the Authorization and Role Mapping Engine (ARME) for the Security Service Module that you are uninstalling: ARME.admin.hostname.

Stop the Service Control Manager (SCM).

Open a command shell and go to the directory where you installed the product, for example:

where:
BEA_HOME/ales21-ssm represents the directory in which you installed the product.

At the command prompt, type uninstall.sh.

The BEA Uninstaller window appears and the uninstall process begins.

Note: If your system supports a graphical user interface, the uninstallation program starts in graphical mode. If your system does not support a graphical user interface, the uninstallation program starts in console mode.

As the uninstall process runs, a checklist is displayed, listing the uninstallation tasks as they complete. After the product is removed, the "uninstall complete" message appears.

You can remove these manually. For removal instructions, see Additional Steps for Uninstalling the SCM on Windows

After the uninstall completes, you may notice that ALES users and groups have not been removed. You may remove these manually or you may want to keep them.
