This section contains information to help you uninstall the DS CLI from a System i system.
Because the DS CLI is installed on a System i system from a remote system, it is not possible to use the conventional DS CLI removal methods that you use with other systems.
When the DS CLI was installed onto your System i system, you used a remote system to perform the installation (for example, Windows, UNIX or AIX). Part of the installation process is the creation of an uninstaller. However, because you were using another system to do your installation, the uninstaller that was created was for the system that you installed from and not for the System i system. This uninstaller cannot be used to uninstall the DS CLI.
When you want to uninstall the DS CLI, you can use one of the following two methods:
You might use this method if you are not planning to upgrade the DS CLI and you want to totally remove the DS CLI from your System i system.
You might use this method when you are upgrading the DS CLI, because after the removal, you can use this remote system to install the upgraded DS CLI.
