Manually Uninstall Documentum

s_ravi

Hi All,

Is there anyway we can manually uninstall any Documentum version on windows. I have tried using the uninstaller but for some reason I am not able to install the developer edition 6.5 SP2.

I have attached the error log while installing 6.5 SP2 developer edition.

Any ideas ?

**********************************************************************

Deleting a repository:

1. Log in to the host as the Content Server installation owner.

2. Start the Content Server configuration program.

• On Windows, click Start > Documentum > Server Manager, select the repository, and click Delete.

• On UNIX and Linux, navigate to the $DM_HOME/install directory and run the dm_launch_server_config_Program.sh program.

The Content Server configuration program starts.

3. Click Next.

4. On Windows, provide the installation owner password and click Next.

5. Select Custom Installation and click Next.

6. Select Create New, Upgrade, or Delete Repositories and click Next.

7. Select Delete an Existing Repository, select the repository to delete, and click Next. You are asked if you want to delete the component.

8. Click OK.

The installer stops the Content Server and provides the location of the tablespace or

database deletion script.

This is $DOCUMENTUM/server_uninstall/delete_db/repository_name, where repository_name is the name of the repository.

9. Click OK

10. Indicate whether to configure another repository or exit from the configuration program and click Next. An information dialog box appears.

11. Click Finish.

12. From the database, drop the database tables associated with the repository



Deleting Connect Broker:



1. Connect to the host as the Content Server installation owner.

2. Start the Content Server configuration program.

• On Windows, click Start > Documentum > Server Manager > Connection Broker, select the connection broker, and click Delete.

• On UNIX and Linux, navigate to the $DM_HOME/install directory and run the dm_launch_server_config_Program.sh program.

3. Click Next.

4. On Windows, provide the installation owner password and click Next.

5. Select Custom Installation and click Next.

6. Select Create New, Upgrade, or Delete Connection Brokers and click Next.

7. Select Delete an Existing Connection Broker, select the connection broker to delete, and click Next.

8. When prompted to delete the component, click OK.

9. Indicate whether to configure another connection broker or exit from the configuration program and click Next. If you indicated to configure another connection broker, the program returns to the connection broker dialog box, and you can repeat the connection broker deletion procedure. If you indicated not to configure another connection broker, an information dialog box appears.

10. Click Finish



Finally UNINSTALL CONTENT SERVER on the host by navigating to:



1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
