13 Uninstalling Unified Inventory Management

This chapter describes how to uninstall Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM).

About Uninstalling UIM

You use the Oracle Universal Installer to uninstall UIM. The installer uninstalls the core application and other components of UIM.

Interactive mode: Use the interactive mode when you want to interact with the installer UI during installation. See "Uninstalling UIM or UIM Components".

Note:

WebLogic Server must be running before proceeding with the uninstall procedure.

Uninstalling UIM or UIM Components

To uninstall UIM, or a component belonging to the UIM product:

  1. From a command line, navigate to the Oracle_Home/oui/bin directory and run the following command to initiate the Oracle Universal Installer runInstaller executable file: 

    ./runInstaller

    The Oracle Universal Installer installation wizard starts.

    The Welcome screen appears.

  2. Click Deinstall Products.

    The Inventory screen appears.

  3. Select the components you want to uninstall.

  4. Click Remove.

    Note:

    Selecting Show Empty Homes displays any previously created Oracle product homes. Select displayed homes, or folders, to remove them.

    The User Input screen appears.

  5. In the WebLogic User Password field, enter your WebLogic user password, and click OK.

    Note:

    Ensure that the correct password is entered. There is no password validation for this step. If the password is incorrect, the uninstall will continue and the UIM JAR and EAR files are not undeployed from the WebLogic domain.

    The Confirmation screen appears.

  6. View and confirm your selection, and click Next.

    You can see the progress as the selected components are uninstalled.

    The installer removes all of the files except the logs. If required, delete the log files manually. The logs can be found at the following location:

    CentralInventorylocation/logs/

    Note:

    The UIM schema, UIM user, Cartridge Deployer Client and CMWS user will not be removed during uninstallation. The database schema and application users can be used by other applications, so they should not be deleted.

  7. Remove the MDS schema user. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide for details on removing/dropping the schema.
