5.2.2 Uninstalling Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA in Silent Mode

Not only can you perform command line installations, you can also perform command line deinstallations. A command line deinstallation enables you to remove Oracle products or Oracle homes from your system without using the Oracle Universal Installer graphical user interface.

You can choose to display no dialog boxes or prompts, or you can selectively avoid displaying certain dialog boxes that are normally used during a deinstallation.

Use the following commands to immediately display the Inventory dialog box, which allows you to select items for removal without navigating the Oracle Universal Installer startup screen:

./runInstaller.sh -deinstall -silent (on UNIX)

If you want to hide the inventory dialog box during a deinstallation, you can specify the products to be removed in the DEINSTALL_LIST parameter of the response file; specify Oracle homes to be removed with the REMOVE_HOMES variable; specify the name of the current Oracle home name with ORACLE_HOME_NAME. For example, on a UNIX machine, enter:

./runInstaller.sh -deinstall -silent
"DEINSTALL_LIST={"tmabase_sna","22.1.0.0.0"}"
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OUIHome2" -responseFile <response>

Note:

When uninstalling in silent mode, you need both DEINSTALL_LIST and response file.
