10 Uninstalling the Software

This chapter contains the following topics:

10.1 Understanding the UninstallationProcess

Because the Deployment Server is only installed on Microsoft Windows-based machines, you can uninstall it by using Add/Remove programs on the machine on which the installation was initially run.

The Uninstaller program restricts you from uninstalling a mandatory component without also removing all associated optional components that were previously installed. The relationship between the manda-tory and optional components is shown in this table:

10.2 Uninstalling the Software from the Workstations

You can remove previous JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installations from workstations by running the uninstallation program from Add/Remove Programs in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel.

The uninstallation program performs the following tasks:

  • Deletes the JD Edwards program group

  • Deletes jde*.* from the root directory

  • Removes the LOCAL data source

  • Deletes the path

  • Unregisters services

  • Removes the uninstall directory

  • Increments licenses on the Deployment Server

  • Deletes the installation directory tree

  • Deletes the registry entry

Note:

You can ignore messages about security that appear during the uninstallation procedure. If error messages say that you cannot remove certain objects, make sure that you have not selected Read Only on the object property sheet, and then rerun the uninstallation program.

10.3 Uninstalling the Deployment Server

When you run the InstallShield Wizard to uninstall the Deployment Server, the program is removed from the machine and also from the list of installed programs.

  1. On the Microsoft Windows-based machine which you initially installed the Deployment Server, navigate to Add/Remove Programs and click the Change/Remove button for this program:

    JD Edwards | EnterpriseOne Deployment Server

  2. On JD Edwards | EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Installer, click the Next button.

  3. On JD Edwards | EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Installer, feature selection, choose the components you wish to uninstall and click the Next button.

  4. On JD Edwards | EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Installer, summary information, review the selections and click the Next button to begin the uninstallation.

  5. On JD Edwards | EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Installer, summary information, verify the uninstallation successfully complete and click the Finish button.

10.4 Deleting Virtual machines for Enterprise, Database and HTML Servers

When uninstalling a VM Guest, you must remove both the system.img file and the corresponding .img file for each server:

  • Enterprise Server: E1_ENT.img

  • Database Server: E1_DB.img

  • HTML Web Server: E1_HTML.img

These files are paired together during the creation process, and cannot be reused or swapped between VM Guests.

Individual VM Guests can be uninstalled and reinstalled individually without uninstalling the other VM Guests only if the same Server_Name is re-used. Use these steps for each VM Guest you wish to uninstall:

  1. Log in as root to the OVS Host.

  2. Change to this directory:

    /OVS/running_pool

  3. Shutdown the Enterprise, Database, or HTML VM Guest you wish to uninstall using this command:

    xm shutdown <Server_Name>

  4. Remove the directory for the VM Guest using this command:

    rm -rf <Server_Name>
