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 must 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">6.4.0</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 command line, 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 as follows:

    • -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. When not specified, all versions matching the uninstallProductID are removed.

    • -V uninstallAllProducts="true"

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