Uninstalling Distributed Mediation Server

 

In Windows

 

To uninstall Distributed Mediation Server, execute the uninstaller.exe file present in the <DMS Home>/_uninst folder.

 

Executing the uninstaller.exe pops up the uninstallation wizard, which guides you through the uninstallation process.

 

In Linux/Solaris

 

To uninstall Distributed Mediation Server, execute the uninstaller.bin file present in the <DMS Home>/_uninst folder.

 

Executing the uninstaller.bin pops up the uninstallation wizard, which guides you through the uninstallation process.

 

In Command/Console Mode

 

In Windows

 

To uninstall from a remote system, telnet to the system where the exe file is installed and give the following command from the <DMS Home>/_uninst directory:

 

uninstaller.exe -console

 

The above command would guide you to uninstall DMS in Windows in a non-GUI mode.

 

In Linux/Solaris

 

To uninstall from a remote system, telnet to the system where the bin file is installed and give the following command from the <DMS Home>/_uninst directory:

 

./uninstaller.bin -console

 

The above command would uninstall DMS in Linux/Solaris in non-GUI mode.

 

In Silent Mode

 

In Windows

 

To uninstall in silent mode, go to directory where the exe file is installed and give the following command from the <DMS Home>/_uninst directory:

 

uninstaller.exe -is:javaconsole -silent -G removeExistingResponse="yesToAll"  -G removeModifiedResponse="yesToAll".

 

The above command uninstalls DMS in Windows in a non-interactive and non-GUI mode.

 

In Linux/Solaris

 

To uninstall in silent mode, go to the directory where the bin file is installed and give the following command from the <DMS Home>/_uninst directory:

 

./uninstaller.bin -is:javaconsole -silent -G removeExistingResponse="yesToAll"  -G removeModifiedResponse="yesToAll".

 

The above command guides you in uninstalling DMS in Linux/Solaris in a non-interactive and non-GUI mode.

 

Note:

  • To uninstall Distributed Mediation Server, do not remove the installation directory. If you remove the contents from the installation directory, uninstallation is not be proper.

  • Locked files (the files that are changed after installation) are not removed during uninstallation.
