Uninstalling Adapter for SAP R/3

This chapter explains how to uninstall Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9. To uninstall Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.8, use the installer that was provided with that version. Call Sybase Technical Support for instructions on uninstalling a version earlier than 3.8.

Starting the Repository

The CIM repository that shares Sybase and New Era of Networks product information must be running to uninstall products. This ensures the repository is updated with the accurate list of installed products. Using other means to uninstall products does not update the respository, which becomes an issue during reinstallation.

To start the repository on Windows, enter the following:

cd <install dir>\CIMRepository-3_0_0\bin

repository.bat

To start the repository on UNIX, enter the following:

cd <install dir>/CIMRepository-3_0_0/bin

./repository.sh

Uninstalling Adapter for SAP R/3 3.9

A separate uninstaller is provided to remove Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9. The scripts to start the uninstaller are located in <install dir>\SAP-3_9.

To uninstall Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9:

  1. Move any custom or other files that you want to save from the SAP-3_9 directory to another directory.

  2. At the command prompt, enter the following:

    1. For Windows: 

      cd <install dir>\SAP-3_9
      uninstall.bat

    2. For Unix: 

      cd <install dir>/SAP-3_9
      uninstall.sh

      The InstallShieldWizard starts to uninstall Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9.

  3. Follow the wizard until uninstall is complete.

  4. Manually remove the remaining <install dir>\SAP-3_9 directory.

Uninstalling Shared Components

You must first uninstall Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9 and any other New Era of Networks or Sybase products that use these shared components. You will receive a message when you attempt to uninstall any component that is required by another product. Shared components must be uninstalled in the order they are listed in step 4.

To uninstall shared components:

  1. Copy <install dir>\JRE_1_3 directory to a temporary location and change the PATH environment variable to include the temporary directory.

    This provides a correct version of the JRE for running the uninstallers.

    If you do not copy JRE_1_3 to a temporary location, you will not be able to uninstall all of the shared components.

  2. To verify that Java version 1.3.1 or higher is being used, enter the following: 

    java -version

  3. Enter the following command:

    cd <install dir>\uninstallers

  4. Repeat the steps 5 through 9 for each shared product in the following order:

  5. Run the following command. Note that the command is written for Windows. For Unix, substitute a forward slash for the backward slash: 

    java -jar <Shared Product>\<Shared
Product File>.jar

    For example:

    java -jar AgentManager-3_0_0\AgentManager-    3_0_0.jar

    The InstallShieldWizard starts to uninstall the shared component.

  6. To begin the installation, click Next on the initial Uninstaller window.

    The Repository Information window appears.

  7. Accept the defaults for the Repository Connection Information and click Next.

  8. On the Feature Select window, select all items to be removed and click Next.

  9. When the selected components are uninstalled, click Finish.

  10. After repeating steps 5 through 9 for all of the shared products, delete the copy of JRE_1_3 that you had moved to a temporary directory.

  11. Manually remove the remaining <install dir> directory.
