  To uninstall EPM System products:

1. Choose a method:

   • (Windows) In EPM_ORACLE_HOME/uninstall, double-click uninstall.cmd.

   • (Windows) In the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, select Oracle EPM System, and click Change/Remove.

   • (Windows) From a Windows console, change to EPM_ORACLE_HOME/uninstall/, and then enter uninstall.cmd.

   • (UNIX) Change to the EPM_ORACLE_HOME/uninstall directory and enter ./uninstall.sh —console.

2. Exit other programs before you continue, and then click or select Next.

3. Select the products to uninstall, and then click or select Next. All components of the selected products are uninstalled.

   For example, if you uninstall any Essbase component, EPM System Uninstaller uninstalls all Essbase components.

   All installed products are selected by default. Select “Deselect All Products” to clear the selections for all products, and then select only the products you want to uninstall.

   If you uninstall any Reporting and Analysis component, all other Reporting and Analysis components are disabled.

4. Specify whether you want to delete all the files and directories in the EPM Oracle home directory.

   If you select this option, data and customized files are deleted.

5. Confirm the products to uninstall, and then click or select Next.

   EPM System Uninstaller displays progress incrementally as each assembly's uninstallation is complete.

   Note:

   To cancel the uninstallation, click or select Cancel. When you select Cancel, EPM System Uninstaller stops the uninstallation of the current assembly and rolls that assembly back to an installed state. It does not undo uninstallations for assemblies that were already uninstalled.

   EPM System Uninstaller indicates the success or failure of the uninstallation. If any part of the uninstallation failed, EPM System Uninstaller notes which assembly failed to uninstall. Check the log files for more information about the errors. You can find the log files in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/install. There is a log file for each assembly, named product-install.log; for example, hss-install.log.

6. Click or select Finish to close EPM System Uninstaller.

7. On Windows, if you uninstalled Oracle HTTP Server, you must reboot to completely remove the installation. This step is required if you plan to reinstall.

   On Windows 2008, you must reboot after uninstalling EPM System products.
