Uninstalling Earlier Versions

It is not necessary to uninstall earlier releases of CA Gen if you install CA Gen Release 8.5 to a new location and give it an instance name. To reuse a location or to reuse an instance name, you must uninstall the older release.

The uninstall process does not remove any files that it considers a configuration file, including modified and unmodified configuration files. It deletes all the other files distributed as part of the original installation, even if they have been modified. The uninstall process does not remove files and directories added by users in the CA Gen installation tree.

If PTFs have been applied to the CA Gen IT or CSE on a UNIX platform, the uninstall process leaves the PTF backups and scripts in place. You must manually delete these backups and scripts.
