Uninstalling OpenEdge Management on UNIX

Because OpenEdge Management is associated with (or "glued to") an installed OpenEdge product, uninstalling OpenEdge Management is a two-step process. First, you disassociate ("unglue") OpenEdge Management from OpenEdge, then you remove the OpenEdge Management files.

If you want only to change the association between OpenEdge Management and a particular OpenEdge product, it is not necessary for you to uninstall OpenEdge Management. Instead, you can unglue OpenEdge Management from one OpenEdge installation and reglue it to another installation of the same product. See the "Using the Reglue command to change the OpenEdge Management association" section for details.

When you run unglue, the OpenEdge Management Trend Database entry is removed from the conmgr.properties file.

Caution: If you want to save trending data, be sure to back up the <OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir>/db before removing the OpenEdge Management installation.

Note that reports and logs are stored in the OpenEdge Management Work directory and will not be removed when you uninstall OpenEdge Management.

To uninstall OpenEdge Management (unglue and remove the OpenEdge Management files):

  1. Stop any databases associated with OpenEdge Management.
  2. Log in as root in a terminal window. If you do not know the root password for your system, consult with your system administrator.
  3. Run the OpenEdge Management unglue command in a terminal window.
  4. The syntax for the command is:

    /<OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir>/bin/unglue 
    

    Where OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir is the complete pathname of the directory where you installed OpenEdge Management.

    The following prompt appears:

  5. Press Y and then press ENTER to complete the unglue.
  6. Remove the directory where you installed OpenEdge Management. For example:
  7. rm -r OEMgmtinstall 
    

  8. If you have configured remote monitoring, remove the vpd.properties file. For example:
  9. rm $HOME/vpd.properties 
    

    Caution: If you want to uninstall OpenEdge Management and not associate it with a different OpenEdge installation, be sure to uninstall OpenEdge Management before you uninstall the OpenEdge product that it is associated with.
