Uninstallation procedure

You can uninstall jConnect in GUI or console mode. Before uninstalling, shut down all processes and applications that use the software or components that are going to be uninstalled.

WARNING! Use the uninstall script with caution. Running it deletes the jConnect-7_0 folder.

StepsUninstalling in GUI mode

  1. Start the uninstall script.

    • Microsoft Windows:

      %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\comp\jConnect-7_0\uninstall.exe
      
    • UNIX platforms:

      $SYBASE/sybuninstall/comp/jConnect-7_0/uninstall.bin
      
  2. Read the introduction. Click Next.

  3. Choose the uninstallation type.

    • Complete Uninstall – completely removes all components of jConnect. The files and folders created after the installation are not affected.

    • Uninstall Specific Features – allows you to uninstall specific components of jConnect. If you select this option, the Choose Product Features window appears and you can select the components to uninstall.

  4. Click Next to uninstall jConnect.

    WARNING! When you click Next and there are no jConnect-dependent products installed, the uninstall program proceeds to uninstall jConnect. You will not be able to cancel the operation.

    One of these occurs:

    • If there are Sybase products that are dependent on jConnect, the installer prompts:

      Sybase recommends that you cancel uninstalling jConnect. Otherwise, the jConnect-dependent products will not function.

    • If there are no jConnect-dependent products installed, the uninstall script removes the jConnect components and displays a progress indicator.

  5. Click Done to quit the uninstall program.

StepsUninstalling in console mode

  1. Go to the %SYBASE% (Microsoft Windows) or $SYBASE (UNIX platforms) directory, and at the command prompt, enter one of the following commands.

    Microsoft Windows:

    %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\comp\jConnect-7_0\uninstall.exe -i console
    

    UNIX platforms:

    $SYBASE/sybuninstall/comp/jConnect-7_0/uninstall.bin -i console
    

    The uninstall program starts.

  2. The flow of the uninstall program is identical to a regular GUI uninstall, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard. Follow the remaining prompts to uninstall the product.
