Limitations for Uninstalling Siebel CRM
This topic is part of About Uninstalling Siebel CRM.
Uninstallation of Siebel CRM software is subject to various limitations. The following limitations apply to uninstalling Siebel CRM software:
You cannot selectively uninstall Siebel Enterprise Server modules installed together on the same computer. Although all Siebel CRM server modules (including Siebel Gateway, Siebel Server, and Siebel Application Interface) are always installed together, you might have only configured certain modules on certain installations, or you might only be using certain modules. Even if you are not using certain modules in a particular installation, you cannot uninstall just those modules. If you do not want to use a particular Siebel Server, then you can remove configuration data for this Siebel Server or disable the Siebel Server so that it does not run on this server computer.
For information about disabling Siebel Server components, see Siebel System Administration Guide. See also Preparing to Run Siebel Server Components.
You cannot selectively uninstall Siebel languages. If you previously installed a particular Siebel language but determine that it is not needed on that installation, then you can deploy your applications using only the languages that you require. You cannot uninstall the Siebel language that you do not need.
If you have already deployed languages that you do not require, then you can remove and recreate a Siebel Server configuration with fewer deployed languages, or recreate a Siebel Application Interface profile with fewer deployed languages and reapply it to each installed Siebel Application Interface instance. Alternatively, you can disable unneeded language-specific Application Object Managers or other components. For these tasks, you do not uninstall the Siebel software. For more information about multilingual deployments, see Installing and Deploying Siebel CRM with Multiple Languages and Siebel Global Deployment Guide.
Limitations might apply for previous versions that you restore or roll back to. If you installed the current release as a migration installation, you can restore the previously installed release. For more information, see About Uninstalling Earlier Versions of Siebel CRM.
This guide describes uninstalling the current release only. For information about uninstalling any prior release of Siebel CRM, see About Uninstalling Earlier Versions of Siebel CRM.

This guide describes restoring a prior release that uses the new installer. For restoring or rolling back to earlier releases, see the applicable Siebel Installation Guide for your operating system for the release you are restoring.
This guide describes GUI uninstallation only. Topics in this chapter describe full uninstallation by running Oracle Universal Installer in GUI mode. It is also possible to perform a full uninstallation by using silent mode, similar to the installation process described in Installing Siebel CRM Using Silent Mode.
