Uninstalling iManager

IMPORTANT:  When uninstalling iManager 2.0.2 on NetWare, the uninstall program will delete all iManager files, regardless of whether they were installed by the iManager installation program or not. Before running the uninstall on NetWare platforms, make sure to back up any custom content or other special iManager files that you would like to preserve.

There is no specific sequence in which iManager or the associated third-party components must be uninstalled.

There are, of course, ramifications to uninstalling any of them. For example, if you uninstall either the Web server or the servlet container, you will not be able to run iManager. Also, on all platforms except for NetWare (see "Important" above), uninstall will only remove files that it installed in the first place. If there are files that were created by the application, for example, the log files and auto-generated configuration files that are created while Tomcat runs, these will not be deleted by the uninstall because it did not install them.

Likewise, if you have created new files or modified existing files within the directory structure that was originally laid down during the install, these files are not removed by the uninstall. This is a safeguard so that data is not unintentionally deleted when a product is uninstalled.


Uninstalling iManager on NetWare 6.0

IMPORTANT:  When uninstalling iManager 2.0.2 on NetWare, the uninstall program will delete all iManager files, regardless of whether they were installed by the iManager installation program or not. Before running the uninstall on NetWare platforms, make sure to back up any custom content or other special iManager files that you would like to preserve.

  1. Run the iManager 2.0.x uninstall.

    1. In the NetWare GUI, click Novell > Install.

    2. In the installed products list, select iManager 2.0.1 or iManager 2.0.2, then click the Remove button.

    3. (Conditional) If you encounter a fatal error message after running the uninstall the first time, select iManager 2.0.1 or iManager 2.0.2, then click the Remove button again.

  2. Reset the iManager 1.x URL in Web Manager.

    1. Open sys:\webapps\WebAdmin\servers.xml.

    2. Change the AdminUrl on the iManager Service tag back to iManager 1.x. Change

      AdminUrl='https://$(host)/nps/iManager.html'

      to

      AdminUrl='https://$(host):2200/eMFrame/iManager.html'

    3. Change the id attribute from

      id='iManager'

      to

      id='eMFrame'

  3. Remove the iManager Tomcat startup parameters. In the sys:\tomctat\4\bin\tomcat4.ncf file, remove the following lines:

    ; NetWare iManager Config
    setenv CATALINA_OPTS=-server -vm160m -Xmx256m
    setenv CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx256m

  4. (iManager 2.0.1 only) Delete the following file and directories:

    • SYS:\tomcat\4\webapps\platform.xar
    • SYS:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps\*
    • SYS:\tomcat\4\work\Standalone\localhost\nps\*

    IMPORTANT:  If you have created custom tasks and pages that you would like to save, be sure to back up the sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps\packages\Custom.npm file before deleting the webapps\nps\ directory.


Uninstalling iManager on Windows

iManager can be uninstalled from Windows using the Add or Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. If the iManager installation installed Tomcat, or NICI, they are listed separately in Add or Remove Programs. You must uninstall each program separately.

WARNING:  If eDirectory is installed on the same machine as iManager, NICI might be required to continue to run eDirectory.

When you remove iManager 2.0.x, only a portion of the files in the file system are removed. You are asked if you want to remove all iManager files. If you choose Yes, all iManager files are removed, including all custom content. The 2.0.x RBS objects are not removed from the eDirectory tree, and the schema remains in the same state.


Uninstalling iManager on Linux

  1. Open a shell and go to the iManager_linux directory created when you extracted the installation files from the iMan_20x_linux.tgz file.

  3. The script prompts you to install or uninstall. Enter u to uninstall.

  4. The script will pause to display the products to uninstall. Enter a to uninstall all.

  5. When prompted, enter the eDirectory admin credentials.

NOTE:  The uninstall procedure does not remove configuration and log files.
