11 Deinstalling the Software

This chapter includes these tasks:

11.1 Understanding the Deinstallation

The installation and upgrade processes do not automatically remove any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne databases. You should have a database administrator (DBA) for your relational database management system (RDMS) manually remove any unused databases according to the list of databases and associated components, which are provided in this document.

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

Server Mandatory Component Optional Components
Deployment Server JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Files Production Environment

Prototype Environment

Development Environment

Pristine Environment

Enterprise Server JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation ES Production

ES Prototype

ES Development

ES Pristine


11.2 Deinstalling the Software from the Workstations

You can remove previous JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installations from workstations by running the deinstallation program as described in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client Installation Guide.

11.3 Deinstalling the Local OEE from the Deployment Server

Note:

Oracle products use the term ”deinstall” to refer to removing an Oracle product.

To deinstall the local Oracle database:

  1. Either export the local database tablespaces or deinstall JD Edwards EnterpriseOne using Start > Programs > Oracle - <Home_Name> > Oracle Installation Products > Universal Installer where <Home_Name> is the name that you gave the installation of EnterpriseOne on the Deployment Server.

  2. Locate this file:

    <Oracle_Home>\deinstall\deinstall.bat

  3. Right click on the file that you located in Step 2 and select Run as administrator, where <Oracle_Home> is the directory where you installed the local Oracle database. For example, your directory might be:

    c:\Oracle\E1Local

  4. At the end of the deinstallation, verify that the Oracle_Home directory has been deleted (for example, c:\Oracle\E1local). If it still exists, you should attempt to manually delete it.

    Caution:

    Prior to any reinstall an Oracle local database on this same machine, the Oracle_Home directory (for example, c:\Oracle\E1local) must not exist. If you attempt to reinstall the local Oracle database and this directory still exists, it is likely that the new installation will fail.

    Tip:

    You may not be able to delete the Oracle_Home directory (for example, c:\Oracle\E1local) if a process has it locked. In that case, to determine which process(es) has it locked, run the steps in the section of this guide entitled: Section 3.9.5.4, "Process Explorer".
