Uninstall Products

If you are going to uninstall Software AG Designer Eclipse, and you want to review or preserve Eclipse installation information, do so before starting the uninstaller, because the uninstaller will delete the entire Software AG Designer installation directory. User-created data that is stored in other directories, such as your workspace, will remain untouched.

If you are going to uninstall from a Mac OS or other UNIX system, and you used sudo to register daemons and set file permissions during or after installation, you must also use sudo to unregister daemons and remove file permissions, as follows:

If you are not going to use an uninstallation script to uninstall, you can choose the uninstaller option to perform this task, or you can perform this task before starting the uninstaller by executing the script Software AG_directory /bin/beforeUninstallAsRoot.sh as a user who is in the sudoers configuration.

If you are going to use an uninstallation script, the uninstaller cannot execute the script because it does not store the sudo password, for security reasons. You must execute the script yourself before starting the uninstaller.

Important:

You must either have the uninstaller execute the script or run it yourself, or some products might not work correctly.

If the CentraSite Registry Repository is on a different machine than the Application Server Tier, uninstall the Application Server Tier first, and then uninstall the Registry Repository.

The CentraSite Registry Repository database will not be deleted after uninstallation is complete. There are many circumstances in which you should retain the database after uninstalling CentraSite; for example, when the database contains information that is important for your enterprise. If you do want to delete the CentraSite database after uninstallation is complete, Software AG strongly recommends making a backup copy of its contents first. Then delete the Software AG_directory /CentraSite/data directory.
