Deinstalling Oracle On Track in Silent Mode

Use the following procedure to deinstall Oracle On Track in silent mode:

• On Windows:

  1. Remove the application from the domain using console/wlst (or remove the domain itself depending on configuration).

  2. Run <MIDDLEWARE HOME>\oui\bin\setup.exe -deinstall -silent -responseFile Disk1/stage/Response/ontrack_deinstall.rsp to uninstall.

  3. Delete the ONTRACK_HOME directory.

• On UNIX and Linux:

  1. Remove the application from the domain using console/wlst (or remove the domain itself depending on configuration).

  2. Run the following command to deinstall:

     ./runInstaller -d -jreLoc /scratch/aime/jdk1.6_64bit/jdk -silent -responseFile (complete path of ontrack_deinstall.rsp)
     

  Note:

  When you use ./runInstaller -d to deinstall Oracle On Track, click Enter to exit once the deinstallation process is over. To avoid this, you may manually pass -waitForCompletion parameter as follows:

  ./runInstaller -d -jreLoc /scratch/aime/jdk1.6_64bit/jdk -silent -responseFile (complete path of ontrack_deinstall.rsp) -waitForCompletion
  

Note:

When you run the deinstallation program in silent mode, no messages are displayed indicating the deinstallation is in progress or has completed successfully, even if errors are encountered.
