Note

To reinstall Symfoware Server after it was uninstalled, and reuse an instance that was already created so that it can be managed from WebAdmin, back up the file shown below in which the WebAdmin instance management information had been defined before uninstalling Symfoware Server, and then restore the backed up file to its original location once Symfoware Server has been reinstalled.

installDir/gui/data/gui-instances

Information

If an error occurs while the product is being uninstalled, refer to "Appendix H Uninstall (middleware) Messages" and take the required action.

1. Delete the operation information

If the Symfoware Server operation information has been registered in the operating system or another middleware product, for example, then it must be deleted. Cases in which deletion is required are as follows:

In cluster systems that use failover operation, close the cluster application and then delete the cluster application as well as the Symfoware Server resources.
Refer to the "Symfoware Server Cluster Operation Guide" for information on other tasks.
If a PL/extJava environment has been built, delete the domain. Refer to "Setting up and Operating PL/extJava" in the Operation Guide for details.

If you have set automatic start and stop of the instance, execute the following commands to disable the script and cancel registration.

If using an rc script

chkconfig nameOfShellScriptForAutomaticStartAndStop off
chkconfig --del nameOfShellScriptForAutomaticStartAndStop
rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/nameOfShellScriptForAutomaticStartAndStop

Example

# chkconfig rc_symfosvoi_inst1 off
# chkconfig --del rc_symfosvoi_inst1
# rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc_symfosvoi_inst1

If using systemd

systemctl disable nameOfUnitFileThatPerformsAutomaticStartAndStop
