7 Uninstalling Oracle AIA

7.1 Overview of Oracle AIA Uninstallation

If you have multiple AIA instances, you need to manually uninstall the specific AIA instance that you want to undeploy.

Refer to Section 7.3, "Undeploying a Specific Instance of AIA Foundation Pack Using Manual Steps."

If you want to completely uninstall AIA (which means undeploying all AIA instances and removing AIA Home), then you need to undeploy all AIA instances except for one instance and then use the De-installer.

If you have deployed the Foundation Pack Demo, undeploy it before you uninstall Foundation Pack, because it does not get undeployed automatically when you uninstall Foundation Pack.

To uninstall Foundation Pack using AIA Deinstaller:

1. Navigate to AIAHOME/oui/bin.

2. Launch Deinstaller.

   Follow the launch instructions for your platform. Table 7-1 lists the commands you must use based on your platform.
