  2. Uninstalling the Platform Pack

Uninstalling the Platform Pack

You should always use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OUI-based installation program to remove JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. If you manually remove the software, the uninstallation cannot be guaranteed to be complete and, as a result, subsequent reinstallation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne may be hindered.

It is also very important you drop your DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX databases prior to running the uninstaller, as specified in the warning in the section entitled: Dropping Databases. If you do not do this you will lose the drop.sh script that was delivered in the installation, because it will be removed by the uninstaller.

On the machine which you initially installed the Platform Pack:

  1. From the Start button, navigate to Programs > Oracle - Oracle_Home_Name > Oracle Installation Products > Universal Installer

    where Oracle_Home_Name is the name of the installation directory that you provided when installing the Platform Pack.

  3. Turn on the check box next to the Oracle Home for the Platform Pack and expand the node to show all installed components. For example, the Oracle Home might be named JDE_PPack920_HOME1.

    Note: At this step, you should select only the Oracle Home that is associated with this particular OUI. That is, the Oracle Home name that you select on this screen should match the Oracle Home name that you selected from Start > Programs.

  4. Click the Remove… button.
