Uninstalling RFID Software

This section describes the procedures required for uninstalling the Sun Java System RFID Software. The following topics are included here:

Uninstalling RFID Event Manager (UNIX)

Uninstalling RFID Information Server (UNIX)

Uninstalling RFID Management Console (UNIX)

Uninstalling RFID Software Modules (Microsoft Windows)

Uninstalling RFID Event Manager (UNIX)

To uninstall the RFID Event Manager, use the provided uninstaller wizard. A full uninstall removes all the components installed on the system (Control Station, Execution Agent, common files, web services for ALE and device access, plug-in for SAP AII, and documentation). If you select a partial uninstall, you should retain the Common Files item, which is shared by Control Station and Execution Agent.

To Uninstall RFID Event Manager

1. (Optional) If you are uninstalling any of the web applications that can be installed with the RFID Event Manager, you need to have your application server running to uninstall them completely.

If your application server is not running, the web applications cannot be undeployed by the uninstaller.

On the Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 Platform Edition Admin console, the RFID Event Manager web applications appear under the Web Applications node as follows:

TABLE 7-1 RFID Event Manager Web Applications
RFID Event Manager Component	Corresponding Web Application
Web services for ALE and device access	DeviceAccess ale printerAccess
Plug-in for SAP AII	sapAiiLink

2. Enable access to the X server.

% xhost + machine-name

3. Become superuser (root).

% su root

4. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to display to your machine name. For example, using the csh shell:

#setenv DISPLAY [machine-name:]0.0

5. Change to the directory containing the uninstall script.

#cd /opt/SUNWrfid

6. Start the uninstaller.

#./uninstall

The Welcome panel appears.

7. Click next and follow the instructions to uninstall RFID Event Manager.

If you perform a partial uninstall, you should retain the Common Files item, which is shared by Control Station and Execution Agent.

8. When uninstallation is complete, click Close.

9. Disable client access and exit from root privileges.

Uninstalling RFID Information Server (UNIX)

1. Verify that the application server to which Information Server is deployed is running before starting to uninstall.

The uninstall wizard performs administrative functions to undeploy the RFID Information Server from the application server. If the application server is not running during the uninstall process, you must do this step manually.

2. Enable access to the X server.

% xhost + machine-name

3. Become superuser (root).

% su root

4. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to display to your machine name. For example, using the csh:

#setenv DISPLAY [machine-name:]0.0

5. Change to the directory containing the uninstall script.

#cd /opt/SUNWrfidis

6. Start the uninstaller.

#./uninstall

The Welcome panel appears.

7. Click Next and follow the instructions to uninstall RFID Information Server.

8. When uninstallation is complete, click Close.

9. Disable client access and exit from root privileges.

Uninstalling RFID Management Console (UNIX)

1. Verify that the application server to which RFID Management Console is deployed is running.

The uninstall wizard performs administrative functions to undeploy the RFID Management Console from the application server.

2. Enable access to the X server.

%xhost + machine-name

3. Become superuser (root).

%su root

4. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to display to your machine name. For example, using the csh:

#setenv DISPLAY [machine-name:]0.0

5. Change to the directory containing the uninstall script.

#cd /opt/SUNWrfidmc

6. Start the uninstaller.

#./uninstall

The Welcome panel appears.

7. Click Next and follow the instructions to uninstall RFID Management Console.

8. When uninstallation is complete, click Close.

9. Disable client access and exit from root privileges.

Uninstalling RFID Software Modules (Microsoft Windows)
