Complete this task to remove the DS CLI from
your System i system using the remote method.
You cannot use the conventional
DS CLI removal
methods that are used on other systems because the installation of the
DS CLI on
your System i system has been done from a remote system. The remote installation
does not allow the creation of an uninstaller that can be used directly by
your System i system for the removal process. However, it is possible to use
the remote removal method on your System i system to remove the
DS CLI application.
Ensure that the remote system that you use to uninstall
the DS CLI is
network-attached to the System i system and is a supported platform for DS CLI.
You can use the following remote method to remove the DS CLI from a System i system. You can perform this procedure at any time.
However, it is common to perform this procedure when you want to upgrade the DS CLI application,
because the remote system that you are using to remove the DS CLI is typically the same system that you use for the upgrade.
To remove
the DS CLI from your System i system using the remote method, perform the
following steps:
- Use FTP to copy the uninstall.dat and uninstall.jar files from
the uninstall directory on your System i system into a common directory on
the machine that you are using to do the uninstall.
- Invoke the uninstall process from the common directory (or point
to it using the classpath [-cp] option) by issuing the following command: java
-cp uninstall.jar run -os400 <system> <userid> <password>
- Wait until the uninstall process is completed before you continue
to your next process.
