Pre-Deinstallation Tasks

Describes the pre-deinstallation tasks to perform before you run the deinstallation script.

The deinstallation script removes the ocdm_sys schema.

Identifying if the ocdm_sys schema is active

Consequently, before you run the deinstallation script, ensure that there are no active sessions that connect to the ocdm_sys schema.

To identify if there are active sessions connecting to these schemas perform the following steps:

  1. Sign in as DBA.
  2. Execute the following SQL statements: 
    select SID,SERIAL# from v$session where USERNAME='OCDM_SYS';

If this query returns a session ID, then there is an active session.

Example 5-1 Ending an active ocdm_sys schema session

To end an active session, execute the following statements in which you replace sid and serial, the session ID and serial number returned by the earlier query:

alter system kill session 'sid,serial' ;

Deinstallation Execution

Lists the steps for deinstalling Oracle Communications Data Model.

To deinstall Oracle Communications Data Model:

  1. Set the ORACLE_HOME to the location of the Database on which to deinstall Oracle Communications Data Model.

    For example, suppose that Oracle home is in the directory /loc/app/oracle/product/12.1/

    In a Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell, use these commands to set ORACLE_HOME:

    $ ORACLE_HOME=/loc/app/oracle/product/12.1/
$ export ORACLE_HOME

    In a C shell, use this command to set ORACLE_HOME:

    % setenv ORACLE_HOME /loc/app/oracle/product/12.1/
  2. Execute the Oracle Communications Data Model deinstallation script:

    $ORACLE_HOME/ocdm/ocdm_deinstall.sh

  3. When prompted, enter the SYSTEM password.

    The script de-configures Oracle Communications Data Model and executes the Oracle Universal Installer in deinstall silent mode.

Post-Deinstallation Tasks

Provides the steps for post-deinstallation cleanup.

If you are deinstalling the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, then follow these steps to perform additional cleanup:

  1. Delete ocdm.rpd in the directory BIHome/Server/Repository.
  2. Delete the ocdmwebcat folder in BIDataHome/web/catalog.
  3. Delete the following line from BIHome/Server/Config/NQSConfig.INI: 
    Star    =    ocdm.rpd, DEFAULT
