Uninstall the Java CS Silently

The Java CS supports a silent mode of uninstallation. To run a silent uninstall you must create a response file.

To uninstall the Java CS silently

1. In a command window, navigate to the uninstall directory which is one of the following:
   • Windows

     C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Connector Server\_uninst
     

   • UNIX

     /opt/CA/IdentityManager/ConnectorServer/_uninst
     

2. Do one of the following depending on whether you want to uninstall the component as you create the response file, or whether you want to create a response file template to use with a silent uninstall at a later time.

   Note: Use fully qualified path names when generating and running response files. For example, responsefile.txt is not valid but C:\responsefile.txt is valid.

   • To create a response file and uninstall the component at the same time, enter the following command and then run through the uninstallation:

     uninstaller -options-record uninstall_response_file 
     

   • To create a response file, but not install the component, enter the following command and then enter the required values in the template:

     uninstaller –options-template uninstall_response_file 
     

3. Start the silent installation using the following command:

   uninstaller –options uninstall_response_file -silent
