Uninstalling OpenEdge on UNIX and Linux operating systems
The uninstall script consolidates and formalizes the actions required to remove an OpenEdge installation from all supported UNIX or Linux operating systems. The uninstall script is installed in the install subdirectory located within the OpenEdge-install-dir.
If you installed OpenEdge Management, stop the OpenEdge Management Trend Database before uninstalling. You can use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer or the following command:
dbman -stop FathomTrendDatabase
The AdminServer must be running in order to stop the OpenEdge Management Trend Database. If you receive a warning during the uninstall that the fathom.db is in use, the OpenEdge Management Trend Database has not been stopped.
If you want to save trending data, be sure to copy the <OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir>/db before removing the OpenEdge Management installation.
If you want to save all the customized monitoring plan and resource definition information, be sure to copy <OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir>/config/fathom.odb before removing the OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer installation.
The following syntax identifies the command executed to perform the uninstall process:
cd OpenEdge install-dir/install/uninstall
Progress Software Corporation recommends using the uninstall script to ensure the following uninstall activities occur properly:
Uninstall third-party, embedded products.
Remove Release-specific entries from the /etc/progress file and /etc/ProDbgCK (Progress Debugger Check) files, and remove the install directory where OpenEdge was installed. In addition, the uninstall script creates an OE<version>uninst.log file in the home directory.
Uninstall third-party, embedded products.
