This chapter explains how to deinstall Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, in these topics:
Deinstalling Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite from your system includes stopping Oracle WebLogic Server, removing application schemas, and deinstalling and removing Oracle homes.
Use the instructions provided in this chapter for removing the software. If you try to remove the software manually, you may experience problems when you try to reinstall the software again at a later time. Following the procedures in this section will ensure that the software is properly removed.
Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all servers and processes.
Stop each Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Server:
UNIX operating system
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh managed_server_name admin_url username password
For example:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/ecm_domain/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh IPM_server1 t3://managedserver_hostname:managedserver_port weblogic password
Windows operating system
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\stopManagedWebLogic.cmd managed_server_name admin_url username password
Stop the Administration Server:
UNIX operating system
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/stopWeblogic.sh username password
Windows operating system
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\stopWeblogic.cmd username password
For more information, see "Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
Run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to drop one or more Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite schemas from your database.
Insert the Repository Creation Utility DVD, and start RCU from the bin or BIN subdirectory of the rcuHome directory:
UNIX operating system
cd rcuHome/bin ./rcu
Windows operating system
cd rcuHome\BIN rcu.bat
If you download the Repository Creation Utility ZIP file from OTN, you can start RCU in the same way.

The deinstaller attempts to remove the ECM Oracle home from which it was started. Before you remove the Oracle home for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain and that you stop all running processes that use this Oracle home. After you remove the software, you will no longer be able to use your WebLogic domain.
This procedure does not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created. It removes only the software in the ECM Oracle home.
Follow the instructions in Table 11-1 to deinstall Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. The procedure after the table describes these steps in more detail.
Note:
The deinstaller will attempt to remove the Oracle home directory from which it was started. Before you choose to remove the Oracle home, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain.Table 11-1 Deinstallation Procedure

To deinstall Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite:
Start the Oracle ECM deinstaller from the bin subdirectory of the oui directory in your ECM Oracle home:
UNIX operating system
cd ECM_ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin ./runInstaller -deinstall -jreLoc jre_location
The value of jre_location must specify the absolute path to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. A relative path will not work.
Windows operating system
ECM_ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc jre_location
The value of jre_location must specify the absolute path to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. A relative path will not work.
You can also start the installer from the Start menu by selecting Programs, then Oracle ECM 11g - Home1, and then Uninstall.
For more information about the JRE location, see Section 3.2.4, "Installing Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite."
Welcome screen
Click Next.
Deinstall Oracle Home screen
Verify the ECM Oracle home you are about to deinstall, and click Deinstall to continue.
Deinstallation Progress screen
No action is necessary on this screen, which shows the progress and status of the deinstallation.
Deinstallation Complete screen
Click Finish.
If the deinstallation procedure did not remove your ECM Oracle home directory, you need to manually remove it and all of its subdirectories:
UNIX operating system
cd /MW_HOME rm -rf ECM_ORACLE_HOME
Windows operating system
To manually remove the ECM Oracle home, use either of these methods:
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\MW_HOME directory, right-click the ECM_ORACLE_HOME folder, and then select Delete.
Remove the program groups from the Start Menu\Programs folder, if they exist. For example, you might remove the following program groups from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs:
Oracle WebLogic (BEAHOME 1)
Oracle ECM 11g - Home1
The folder and program group names on your Windows operating system might be different.
