Uninstalling

Remove Sybase Control Center from your system.

You can uninstall:
  • In GUI mode – you respond to questions from the uninstaller.
  • In silent mode – the uninstaller removes files without your input.

Uninstalling removes all components, including the Sybase Control Center basic functionality and the product modules. You cannot uninstall individual components.

Uninstalling does not remove:
  • Files in the Sybase directory that may be shared with other Sybase products, including the JRE
  • Files that were created after installation, such as logs and backup files
  1. (Windows) If you are uninstalling in any version of Windows, log in as an administrator.
  2. (Windows) If you are uninstalling in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008 on x86 64-bit, set compatibility mode for the uninstaller to Windows XP:
    1. Right-click %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SCCSuite-X_X\uninstall.exe, where X_X is the release number.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. On the Compatibility tab, select Windows XP compatibility mode.
    4. Click OK.
  3. (Windows) If you are uninstalling in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, set the Run as Administrator option on the uninstaller. You must do this even if you already have administrative privileges.
    1. Right-click %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SCCSuite-X_X\uninstall.exe, where X_X is the release number.
    2. Select Run as Administrator.
  4. Launch the uninstaller.

    In Windows:

    GUI mode Open or double-click:
    %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SCCSuite-X_X\uninstall.exe

    where X_X is the release number.
    GUI mode Alternatively, select Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Sybase Control Center > Change/Remove.
    Silent mode Execute: 
    start /WAIT 
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SCCSuite-X_X\uninstall.exe -i silent

    where X_X is the release number.

    To delete user data files, add this option to the command: 
    -DUNINSTALL_DELETE_DATA_FILES=true
    Note: Files requiring manual deletion may remain in the Sybase Control Center installation directory even if you use the DELETE_DATA_FILES option.

    In UNIX:

    GUI mode Execute: 
    $SYBASE/sybuninstall/SCCSuite-X_X/uninstall.bin

    where X_X is the release number.
    Silent mode Execute: 
    $SYBASE/sybuninstall/SCCSuite-X_X/uninstall.bin -i 
silent

    where X_X is the release number.

    To delete user data files, add this option to the command: 
    -DUNINSTALL_DELETE_DATA_FILES=true
    Note: Files requiring manual deletion may remain in the Sybase Control Center installation directory even if you use the DELETE_DATA_FILES option.
  5. If you are using GUI mode, follow the instructions in the uninstaller.
    If you are using silent mode in Windows, a second console window opens and remains open while the uninstaller is working. When the uninstaller is finished, the second window disappears and the command prompt reappears in the first window.
  6. To delete files created after installation, remove the Sybase Control Center installation directory when the uninstaller is finished. By default, the SCC installation directory is located in the Sybase directory and includes the release number in its name—for example, Sybase/SCC-3_2.
    If no other Sybase products are installed on this machine, you might also want to remove the Sybase directory (the parent of the Sybase Control Center installation directory).
