Uninstall a Web Agent from a UNIX System

These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode removal.

Note: Removing a Web Agent from a 64-bit SuSE Linux 10 system requires additional preparations.

Note: Before you uninstall, we recommend copying your agent configuration settings to have as a backup.

  1. Stop the web server.
  2. Log in to the UNIX system.
  3. Specify the JRE in the PATH environment variable to uninstall the Web Agent. If you receive an error message that the Java virtual machine could not be found, add the JRE to the PATH variable as follows:

    PATH=/jre_home/bin:${PATH}

    export PATH

    jre_home is the location of the JRE.

  4. Navigate to the directory where the Web Agent is installed:
    web_agent_home/install_config_info/ca-wa-uninstall
    
  5. If necessary, verify that you have execute permissions on the uninstallation program by entering chmod +x uninstall.
  6. From a console window, enter one of the following commands:

    The uninstallation program starts.

  7. Read the information in the dialog to confirm the removal of the Web Agent, then click Uninstall. The Web Agent is removed from the system.
  8. Click Done to exit the uninstallation program.
  9. (Optional) For Apache-based agents, remove the lines from the httpd.conf file that the Configuration Wizard added.
  10. Change to your home directory (the current directory has been deleted).
  11. Restart the web servers.
