Uninstalling Spotfire Server

The fourth step of uninstalling the Spotfire environment is to uninstall the Spotfire Server.

If you have placed any additional files in the installation directory or any of its subdirectories, such as Spotfire library export files, you should move these files to a secure location before uninstalling. The installer will remove the installation directory and all its subdirectories.

Windows

Uninstallation of Spotfire Server is performed through the regular Windows procedure. On each computer with a Spotfire Server installed, click Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program. Then right-click TIBCO Spotfire Server and select Uninstall.

After successful uninstallation, only use-modified files (such as custom JDBC drivers) remain on the computer.

RPM Linux

Note: To be able to uninstall on Linux, you must have root access.

On each computer with a Spotfire Server installed, uninstall the server by running the command:

rpm -e tss-<version number>

After a successful uninstallation, only modified files in tomcat/conf remain.

Tarball Linux

Note: To be able to uninstall on Linux, you must have root access.

On each computer with a Spotfire Server installed, uninstall the server by running the following commands:

If the Spotfire Server was configured to start on boot, it must be stopped and removed.

To stop the server, run the command:

service tss-<version number> stop

To remove the server, run the command:

chkconfig --del tss-<version number>

Delete added scripts by running the following commands:

rm /etc/init.d/tss-<version number>

rm /etc/sysconfig/tss-<version number>

The final step is to remove the folder with Spotfire Server files. Do this by running the following command:

rm -rf <folder where the tarball was installed>
