Uninstalling in Silent Mode

In silent mode, you can uninstall the product from the CLI. To uninstall the product in silent mode, the .silent file should be present.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that the .silent file is present in the TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer folder.
  • Stop all running processes in the installation environment.
  • Before you start uninstalling the plug-in, add the following parameters to the mysilent.silent file:

    Syntax for adding the parameters:

    <entry key="keyname">keyvalue</entry>

    <entry key="uninstallProductID">bwpluginpi</entry>

    <entry key="uninstallProductVersion">6.2.0</entry>

    <entry key="uninstallTIBCOHome">c:/tibco</entry>

Procedure

To uninstall this product in silent mode:

  1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer directory.
  2. On the CLI, type the command to start the uninstallation. For example :
    • On Microsoft Windows:

      TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.exe -silent -V responseFile="mysilent.silent"

    • On Linux:

      ./TIBCOUniversalInstaller-lnx-x86-64.bin -silent -V responseFile="mysilent.silent".

      Note: If you add the .silent response file to a directory other than the universal installer directory containing the installer, provide the absolute path to the response file.
  3. You can also use the command line options to override the value in the .silent file. The supported options are:

    • -V uninstallTIBCOHome="<tibco home path>", where <tibco home path> is the path to the TIBCO_HOME that you want to run the uninstaller. This value is required and is validated before the uninstallation can proceed in the silent mode.

    • -V uninstallProductID="<productID>", where <productID> is the ID of the product that you want to uninstall as defined in the feature config or _installInfo xml file. The wildcard asterisk (*) can be used to uninstall all products. Also, the uninstallAllProducts="true" option must be used to uninstall all products.

    • -V uninstallProductVersion="<product version>", where <product version> is the version of the product that you specified with the uninstallProductID value. If not specified, all versions matching the uninstallProductID are removed.

    • -V uninstallAllProducts="true"

      This option must be set to true in addition to setting uninstallProductID="*" in the .silent file to be able to uninstall all products.
