This chapter describes how to remove Application Developer and related products from your system.
You should always use the instructions provided in this chapter for removing the software. If you try to remove the software manually, you may experience problems when you try to reinstall the software again at a later time. Following the procedures in this chapter will ensure that the software is properly removed. See Section 3.2, "Reinstallation" for more information.
The following topics are covered:
The deinstaller will attempt to remove the Oracle Home from which it was started; for Application Developer, this directory is the oracle_common
directory. This procedure will not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created - it only removes the software in oracle_common
.
Before you choose to remove this directory, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain, and also make sure you stop all running processes that use the oracle_common
directory. After you remove the software, you will no longer be able to use your WebLogic domain.
Deinstalling Application Developer properly involves the following tasks:
Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all servers and processes.
Sop the WebLogic Managed Servers.
On UNIX operating systems:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/stopManagedWeblogic.sh managed_server_nanme admin_url username password
On Windows operating systems:
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\stopManagedWeblogic.cmd managed_server_nanme admin_url username password
Stop WebLogic Administration Server.
On UNIX operating systems:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/stopWeblogic.sh username password admin_url
On Windows operating systems:
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\stopWeblogic.cmd username password admin_url
For both commands, specify the admin_url
using the following format:
http://admin_server_host.admin_server_domain:admin_server_port
For more information about starting and stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware, refer to "Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
Run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to drop the Application Developer schemas from your database.
Insert the RCU CD-ROM and start RCU from the rcuHome/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or rcuHome\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory:
On UNIX operating systems:
./rcu
On Windows operating systems:
rcu.bat
If you download the RCU .zip
file from OTN, then you can also start RCU as shown above from the rcuHome/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or rcuHome\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory on your system.
Follow the instructions below to drop the MDS
schema:
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Create Repository Screen
Select Drop.
Click Next.
Database Connection Details Screen
Provide the following credentials to connect to your Oracle database. These are the same credentials you provided on this screen when you created the MDS
schema. See Section 1.1.2, "Create Schemas for Application Developer" for more information.
Click Next. A "Checking Prerequisites" screen will appear. If there are errors, some details about the error will be displayed on the Database Connection Details Screen. Fix the error messages and click Next again.
After the checking is complete with no errors, click OK to dismiss the screen.
Select Components Screen
Select the prefix and schemas you want to drop from the repository.
Click Next. A "Checking Prerequisites" screen will appear. If there are errors, some details about the error will be displayed on the Select Components Screen. Fix the error messages and click Next again.
After the checking is complete with no errors, click OK to dismiss the screen.
Summary Screen
Click Drop. A "DROP" screen will appear. If there are errors, some details about the error will be displayed on the Summary Screen. Fix the error messages and click Next again.
After the schemas are dropped with no errors, click OK to dismiss the screen.
Completion Summary Screen
Click Close.
The deinstaller will attempt to remove the oracle_common
directory. Before you choose to remove your Application Developer Oracle Home, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain, and also make sure you stop all running processes that use this Oracle Home.
This procedure will not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created - it only removes the software in the Application Developer Oracle Home.
Go to the MW_HOME
/oracle_common/oui/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME
\oracle_common\oui\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.
On UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller.sh -deinstall -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION
On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION
Note:
Specify the absolute path to yourJRE_LOCATION
; relative paths are not supported.Follow the instructions in Table 3-1 to deinstall Application Developer.
Note:
The deinstaller will attempt to remove the Oracle Home from which it was started; before you choose to remove the Oracle Home, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain.If you need additional help with any of the deinstallation screens, refer to Appendix C, "Application Developer Deinstallation Screens" or click Help to access the online help.
To deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server:
Start the deinstaller from the WebLogic_Home
/uninstall
(on UNIX operating systems) or WebLogic_Home
\uninstall
(on Windows operating systems) directory. You specified the location of the WebLogic Home directory on the Choose Product Installation Directories Screen in Section 1.1.3, "Install Oracle WebLogic Server and Create the Middleware Home".
On UNIX systems:
./uninstall.sh
On Windows systems:
uninstall.cmd
On Windows systems, you can also start the deinstaller from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Oracle WebLogic > Uninstall Oracle WebLogic.
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Choose Components Screen
By default, all components are selected.
Click Next.
Uninstalling WebLogic Platform Screen
Click Done.
After this is finished, you must manually remove the WebLogic Home directory. For example, if your WebLogic Home directory was /home/Oracle/Middleware
on a UNIX operating system:
> cd /home/Oracle > rm -rf Middleware
On a Windows operating system, if your WebLogic Home directory was C:\Oracle\Middleware
, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle
directory, then right-click on the Middleware
folder and select Delete.
If you have installed Oracle JDeveloper on your system, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper for instructions on how to remove this software from your system.
On Windows systems, you must also manually remove the program groups from the Start Menu\Programs
folder. As an example (the folder names and program group names on your system may be different), you might remove the following from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.2.0
Oracle WebLogic
The installer does not allow reinstallation of Application Developer in a directory that already contains an Oracle product. To reinstall Application Developer in the same directory as before, you must follow the instructions in this chapter to deinstall the software, then follow the instructions in Chapter 1, "Installing Application Developer" to reinstall the software.
