When you uninstall PFM - RM for Platform, make sure that you use an account that has the superuser permissions.

Uninstalling a Performance Management program does not delete the port numbers defined in the services file.

If you uninstall PFM - RM for Platform while Performance Management programs and services or other programs that reference Performance Management files are running, some files and directories might remain in the system. In such a case, you must manually delete all files and directories under the installation directory.
If PFM - Base and PFM - RM for Platform are both installed on the same host, PFM - Base cannot be uninstalled unless you uninstall PFM - RM for Platform. In such a case, uninstall PFM - RM for Platform, and then uninstall PFM - Base. Similarly, if PFM - Manager and PFM - RM for Platform are installed on the same host, PFM - Manager cannot be uninstalled unless you uninstall PFM - RM for Platform. In this case, uninstall PFM - RM for Platform, and then uninstall PFM - Manager.

When you uninstall PFM - Manager, make sure that all Performance Management programs and services are stopped throughout the entire Performance Management system.
Uninstalling PFM - RM for Platform might not delete the service information that is displayed by the jpctool service list command. In such a case, use the jpctool service delete command at the host where PFM - Manager is installed to delete the service information. To apply the deletion of service information to the PFM - Web Console host, you must execute the jpctool service sync command to synchronize the agent information between the PFM - Manager host and the PFM - Web Console host.
