DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2 installer

Before you begin

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the uninstallSAM uninstall script that is included in the IBM Data Server install media to uninstall SA MP, you must meet the basic prerequisites for uninstalling SA MP. See: Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).

About this task

There are three methods for using the DB2 installer:

• DB2 Setup wizard (install, upgrade, or uninstall)
• Silent install using a response file with db2setup (install or upgrade) or db2unins (for uninstall)
• db2_install command (for install), installFixPack command (for upgrade), or db2_deinstall command (for uninstall)

The DB2 installer calls the uninstallSAM install script to perform parts of the SA MP uninstall. You can call uninstallSAM directly. For more information about using the uninstallSAM script to uninstall SA MP, see: Uninstalling IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the uninstallSAM uninstall script.

You can use the -l option with db2setup, db2_install, or installFixPack to specify where the installSAM utility should place the SA MP install log. For more information about the SA MP install log, see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) install and uninstall logs.

Procedure

• To uninstall SA MP using DB2 Setup wizard, run DB2 Setup wizard and follow the instructions in the wizard.

  The information about your system that the DB2 installer collects determines which panels appear in the graphical interface of the DB2 Setup wizard during uninstall. For example, if you do not have SA MP installed, then the DB2 Setup wizard will not display a panel to uninstall SA MP.

• To uninstall SA MP using a response file, set the response file keyword INSTALL_TSAMP to "YES".

  In a response file uninstall operation, the DB2 installer will not uninstall SA MP by default. If INSTALL_TSAMP is "NO", or if INSTALL_TSAMP is commented out or missing from the response file, the DB2 installer will not attempt to uninstall SA MP.

• To uninstall SA MP using db2_deinstall, you can run db2_deinstall with the -a -F TSAMP option.

  By default, the DB2 installer will not uninstall SA MP when you run db2_deinstall.

What to do next

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the uninstallSAM uninstall script that is included with the IBM Data Server install media to uninstall SA MP, follow the same post-uninstall steps.
