Uninstalling the Standard and Enterprise Edition Software

This chapter contains instructions for uninstalling the Sun Java System Application Server software from your system.

About Uninstalling

The installation program enforces component dependencies as specified for each component. Once component dependencies are satisfied, component life cycles are independent.

Uninstallation failure will result in a complete rollback of the installation, requiring you to reinstall the product.

Note

If an uninstallation fails, you may need to clean up some leftover files or processes before attempting a new installation. See the Sun Java System Application Server Troubleshooting Guide.

All components are uninstalled. Partial uninstallation is not supported.

Uninstallation Requirements

The following must be true for uninstallation to succeed on Enterprise Edition:

Uninstalling the Application Server Software

The uninstallation program detects any running Sun Java System Application Server processes and stops them before continuing to uninstall.

where valid_j2se_directory is the path to your JDK installation.
