Uninstalling a Development Client from the Command Line

This appendix describes how to uninstall the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client from the command line.

Caution: Be sure to follow the guidelines in the preceding sections of this guide entitled:

Instead of using the OUI-based installer in interactive mode to uninstall the Development Client, you can optionally perform a silent deinstall by running OUI from the Microsoft Windows command line. This may be more efficient if you have many Development Clients that you need to uninstall.

Although any copy of OUI that you have on your machine may be used for the uninstallation, we recommend that you use the particular one that was automatically copied to your machine when you installed the Development Client. This copy of OUI is setup.exe, which is located in this directory:

<dev_client_installation_directory>\oui\bin

To uninstall the Development Client using the command line:

Note: The local database of the Development Client may or may not be running. When you use OUI as described in this procedure, it will attempt to start the database if it is not already running.

  1. Right-click on an icon to open a command prompt window and click "Run as Administrator".

  2. Enter and run the following command on one line:

    "<location_of_OUI>\setup.exe" -deinstall -nowait -waitforcompletion REMOVE_HOMES={"<Oracle_Home_directory_to_remove>"} -silent ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<Oracle_Home_Name_to_remove>"

    where

    • <location_of_OUI> is the directory where setup.exe resides; for example, C:\E920_1\oui\bin

    • <Oracle_Home_directory_to_remove> is the directory of the Oracle_Home to uninstall; for example, C:\E920_1

    • <Oracle_Home_Name_to_remove> is the name of the Oracle_Home to deinstall; for example, JDE_E920_Client1

    Note: Be sure to include all punctuation (that is, double quotes and curly braces) in the above command line except for the greater than and less than signs that are used to delimit the variables.The words REMOVE_HOMES and ORACLE_HOME_NAME must be capitalized.There are no spaces in the option switches between the hyphen and the name of the option switch (for example, -nowait).

    For example, a command line entry to uninstall the Development Client might be:

    "C:\E920_1\oui\bin\setup.exe" -deinstall -nowait -waitforcompletion REMOVE_HOMES={"C:\E920_1"} -silent ORACLE_HOME_NAME="JDE_E920_Client1"

  3. Examine the latest log file in the appropriate directory:

    • 64-bit Development Client

      C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs

    • 32-bit Development Client

  4. Verify that the Oracle_Home directory (for example, C:\E920_1) was deleted. If not, delete it.

You can provide additional options to the setup.exe on the command line. Most of the options are generic OUI options, but those listed above must be used at a minimum.

You can enter the following line to get a list of and descriptions of the generic OUI options:

<location_of_OUI>\setup.exe -help

Note: Any options other than those listed above have not been tested with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client installer or uninstaller.
