InstallShield includes an uninstall feature that removes the Sybase components you have installed.
WARNING! Do not install Replication Server version 12.6 on top of the following Sybase products:
Replication Server version 12.5 or earlier
Adaptive Server version 12.5.0.x or earlier
Open Client/Server version 12.5.0 or earlier
OpenSwitch version 12.5 or earlier
DirectConnect version 12.5 or earlier
Doing so incapacitates older versions of these products, and can also adversely affect other Sybase products.
You cannot reverse this with an uninstallation, as this could remove required components of the older Sybase products updated by Replication Server version 12.6. For this reason, Sybase recommends that you back up your current directory before installing Replication Server version 12.6.
You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either GUI or console methods. Sybase recommends that you use the GUI method.
On SGI and HP Tru64 platforms, Sybase recommends that
you uninstall Sybase software in console mode instead of using a
windowing package.
Before uninstalling Sybase software, log on to your machine using an account with administrator privileges. Then shut down Replication Server and all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.
InstallShield removes only those files that were loaded
from the installation media. Some Sybase files, such as log and
configuration files, are left intact for administrative purposes.
Also, InstallShield does not remove installed or _jvmrep.
Uninstalling in GUI mode
To uninstall the products in GUI mode, first source the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh as appropriate, then execute the following at the command line:
On AIX, HP Itanium, HP-UX, and Solaris:
$SYBASE/uninstall/REP126/uninstall
On HP Tru64: From the $SYBASE/uninstall/REP126 directory:
$SYBASE/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/bin/java -jar uninstall.jar
On Mac: Open install_directory | uninstall | REP126, where install_directory is the location where you installed Replication Server.
Do not use GUI mode on a “headless” Mac that lacks a monitor; use command line mode instead. See “Uninstalling in console (command line) mode”.
$SYBASE/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/bin/java -jar \ $SYBASE/uninstall/REP126/uninstall.jar
The Uninstaller window opens.
Click Next.
Select the product you want to remove from the list, then click Next.
Verify the summary information, then click Next.
The uninstaller removes the files associated with the software.
Click Finish.
You may be prompted to decide whether to remove shared
files. Sybase recommends that you do not remove
shared files.
If you are uninstalling the Replication Manager plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition, and you have previously installed both the Replication Manager plug-in and the Adaptive Server plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition, unregister the Replication Manager plug-in in Sybase Central.
See the Replication Manager plug-in online help for more information.
Uninstalling in console (command line) mode
To uninstall the products in console mode, first source the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh as appropriate, then execute the following at the command line:
On AIX, HP Itanium, HP-UX, and Solaris platforms:
$SYBASE/uninstall/REP126/uninstall -console
On HP Tru64: From the $SYBASE/uninstall/REP126 directory:
$SYBASE/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/bin/java -jar uninstall.jar -console
On Mac: In a terminal window, enter:
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -cp \ $SYBASE/uninstall/REP126/uninstall.jar run -console
$SYBASE/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/bin/java -jar $SYBASE/uninstall/REP126/uninstall.jar -console
The uninstaller program starts.
Choose the Replication Server software product you want to uninstall.
The Replication Server software product you chose and its associated files are removed.
You may be prompted to decide whether to remove shared
files. Sybase recommends that you do not remove shared files.
If you are uninstalling the Replication Manager plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition, and you have previously installed both the Replication Manager plug-in and the Adaptive Server plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition, unregister the Replication Manager plug-in in Sybase Central.
