Uninstalling ActiveMatrix BPM

To uninstall ActiveMatrix BPM, stop the TIBCO processes, run the TIBCO Universal Uninstaller, and delete ActiveMatrix BPM directories.

Procedure

  1. Stop the TIBCO processes.
    • On Windows, stop the TIBCO ActiveMatrix and PostgreSQL for AMX-BPM services.
    • On Linux, run this command:

      TIBCO_HOME/bpm/n.n/bin/dev_ctl stop

      where n.n is the version of ActiveMatrix BPM.

  2. Ensure that you are logged on to the computer with the correct privileges:
    • On Windows, you must have Administrator privileges.
    • On Linux, you must be logged on as the same user who installed ActiveMatrix BPM. If more than one product installation has been made to the same environment and you want to uninstall them all, you should uninstall as the root user.
  3. Run the TIBCO Universal Installer:
    • On Windows, click the following:

      Start > All Programs > TIBCO > ENV_NAME > Uninstall

    • On Linux, change to:

      TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer

      Run ./TIBCOUniversalInstaller-platform_id.extension.

  4. On the TIBCO Installation Manager page of the installer, click Uninstall Products from a TIBCO Home Location and then select the location of TIBCO Home from the list. Click Next.
  5. When the TIBCO Universal Uninstaller is started, complete the uninstaller pages as required. On the Pre-Uninstall Summary page, click Uninstall.

    The uninstaller removes ActiveMatrix BPM.

  6. The Running ANT Tasks page is displayed while the selected components are uninstalled. When you are asked about the cleanup of the /tools directory, click Yes, clean it up.
  7. On the Post Uninstall Summary page, click Finish.

    The uninstaller exits and cleans up any temporary files.

    Note: On Windows, the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM entries in the Start menu may remain after the uninstallation. To correct this, log off, then log on again.

    On Linux, if an error message similar to the following is displayed after uninstallation, log out and log in again for the uninstaller changes to take effect:

    The wizard requires that you logout and log back in

  8. Manually delete the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM directories under TIBCO_HOME.
  9. Manually delete the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM directories under CONFIG_HOME.
