Uninstalling Natural

You uninstall Natural using the Software AG Uninstaller. For detailed information on how to use the uninstaller, see the Using the Software AG Installer guide.

In short: to uninstall Natural, proceed as follows:

  1. Open a command window and go to the bin directory of your main installation directory.

  2. This step is only required if the password of the root user will not or could not be entered during step 3.

    Execute the script beforeUninstallAsRoot.sh as the root user.

  3. Run the command uninstall. This starts the Software AG Uninstaller.

  4. This step is only required if the script beforeUninstallAsRoot.sh was executed in step 2.

    Execute the script afterInstallAsRoot.sh as the root user.

Note:
Natural Security cannot be uninstalled without removing the whole Natural environment in which Natural Security has been installed.

The following files are not removed:

  • If it has been created, the runpath directory /opt/softwareag/Natural/v<version>/lib.

  • All files created by the user, for example, Natural modules in FUSER or parameter files.

  • Scripts in the Natural/INSTALL directory which may be needed to stop services or daemons.

  • Machine-name directories for ApplinX and the Natural Web I/O Interface which contain files to access these services.
