Linux un-installation problems
Hello all,
After my installation fails on linux, I tried to un-install it and it said that nothing was installed. I then manually removed all the directories under /opt/, /var/opt/, and /etc/opt. I also renamed the productregistry file to productregistry.old. When I run the installer now, it still says that the following software is installed
Portal Server 7.1
Directory Preparation Tool 6.4
Message Queue 3.7 UR1
Access Manager 7.1
High Availability Session Store 4.4
Java DB 10.1
What else do I need to do to get the installer to stop thinking these products are installed?
Thanks,
Frank

Howdy, you will need to also remove the linux packages that may have been added while installing Java ES components, see: http://docs.sfbay.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4891/6n70tjqc8?a=view
and a link to the List of Packages that may have been installed... see: http://docs.sfbay.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4892/6n70uiaqb?a=view
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the help. That worked. The docs have you run a command rpm -qa |grep -I ^sun | xargs rpm -V. The output from that is over 30k lines on my system and impossible to map back to any packages. I'm not sure what those commands are designed to do, but just issuing rpm -qa |grep -I ^sun lists all the packages in question. I also wrote a quick bash shell script to do the cleanup of the packages ... might be helpful to others in the future...
#!/bin/bash
for pkg in $(rpm -qa |grep -I ^sun)
do
rpm -e $pkg --nodeps
done
exit 0
Thanks again,
Frank

Please try the below command to grep for packages on solaris
pkginfo | grep -i "sun java system" . This will list all packages
If you want specific to application server then just modify the command
pkginfo | grep -i "sun java system application server"
OR
pkginfo | egrep -i "sun java system application server| sun java system appserver"
