Uninstalling DirectConnect

To uninstall a DirectConnect installation, use the InstallShield uninstall feature. This removes all servers, all common files, and all required components. After the uninstall runs, you may need to delete any remaining files and directories in the directory where DirectConnect was installed.

NoteYou may need to stop the SySAM daemon first; otherwise, you will not be able to delete certain files and directories. Also, before uninstalling Sybase software, shut down all Sybase applications and processes.

You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either the GUI or the console method. Sybase recommends that you use the GUI method.

Log in to your machine using an account with “administrator” privileges, then shut down all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.

  2. The Welcome window appears.

  3. Click Next to display the list of selected products and components that were installed.

  5. A summary of all the products and components is displayed. Click Next.

  6. A message indicating that an uninstall of z/OS is in progress. When this is completed, a message is displayed indicating a successful uninstall. Click Next to end the uninstall.

StepsTo uninstall in console mode

    %SYBASE%\uninstall.exe -console
