5.6 Performing Additional Upgrade Steps to Windows Server

For a Windows machine running on Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) or earlier software, performs the following additional steps before installing the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) software to ensure that you are starting with a clean system.

1. Stop the Tuxedo TListen and Oracle procMGR services. From the Start menu, click Start → All Programs → Administrative Tools → Services. The Services window appears.
2. Scroll to the entry for the TListen service, select it, and then click the Stop button. The Status value should change from Started to a blank entry. Then scroll to the Oracle procMGR (or IPC Helper) service, select it, and click the Stop button. In some cases, you may see an error; however, the service’s Status value should change from Started to a blank entry. Next, click the Close button.
3. Run the Windows Add/Remove program to remove the prior Oracle Tuxedo software version. From the Start menu, choose Start → Settings → Control Panel → Add/Remove Programs. The Add/Remove Programs Properties window appears.
4. Scroll to the entry for the prior Oracle Tuxedo, select it, and click the Add/Remove button.
5. In response to the prompt, confirm that you want to uninstall the software. After the program finishes, the Remove Programs From Your Computer window appears.
6. If the uninstall program was not able to remove all directories (usually because the files were added after the original installation), you can click the Details button to find out which directories remain on your system. If the files in the directories contain changes that you made, such as a modified sample file, move the modified files to a temporary location.
7. Reboot your system after the uninstall completes.
