Uninstall the SAML Affiliate Agent From UNIX Systems

Before you remove the SAML Affiliate Agent:

• You may want to make copies of your Agent configuration settings to have as a back up.
• For Agents installed on an Apache/Linux Web server, reset the LD_PRELOAD variable before you uninstall the SAML Affiliate Agent.
• Specify the JRE in the PATH environment to avoid receiving a message that the Java virtual machine could not be found. Add the JRE to the PATH variable as follows:

  PATH=${PATH}:/jre_home/bin
  export PATH
  

  jre_home is where JRE resides

To uninstall the SAML Affiliate Agent

1. Log onto the UNIX system.
2. Stop the Web server(s).
3. Stop the Affiliate Server by navigating to the SAML Affiliate Agent’s bin directory, such as affiliateagent/bin, and entering ./stop-all-am
4. Do one of the following:
   • Navigate to saml_affiliate_agent_home/install_config_info/nete-af-uninstall, then enter the following command:

     ./uninstall

   • Navigate to saml_affiliate_agent_home and enter the following command:

     nete-af-uninstall.sh

   The uninstallation program starts.

5. In the SAML Affiliate Agent version Uninstall window, click Uninstall.

   Uninstallation begins and the SAML Affiliate Agent is removed from the system.

   For Sun Java System Web servers, the obj.conf file(s) and magnus.conf files are restored to its original settings prior to the Web Agent installation.

   Note: If you are uninstalling an SAML Affiliate Agent from an Apache Web server, remove the lines from the httpd.conf file that you added during the installation.

6. Change to your home directory (the current directory may be deleted).
7. Restart the Web server(s).

Note: If you try to install the SAML Affiliate Agent again, and a SAML Affiliate Agent installation directory exists, the program gives you the option of aborting the installation, specifying a new installation directory, or overwriting the existing directory.
