3.2.1 Cautionary notes on setup cancellation and uninstallation
Note the following when uninstalling and canceling setup of PFM - Agent for Oracle.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Note on OS user permission required to uninstall PFM - Agent for Oracle
Before you uninstall PFM - Agent, make sure that you have logged on with an account that belongs to the Administrators group.
(2) Note on network configuration
When you uninstall a Performance Management program, the port numbers defined in the services file will remain in the file.
(3) Notes on programs
-
If you uninstall a Performance Management program while another Performance Management program or service or other program that references Performance Management files is running, some files or folders may remain in the system. In this case, manually delete everything under the installation folder.
-
If both PFM - Base and PFM - Agent are installed on a host, you cannot uninstall PFM - Base without first uninstalling PFM - Agent. In this case, uninstall PFM - Agent and then PFM - Base, in that order. The same applies when both PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent are installed on a host. You will be unable to uninstall PFM - Manager without first uninstalling PFM - Agent. In this case, uninstall PFM - Agent and then PFM - Manager, in that order.
(4) Notes on services
-
Uninstalling PFM - Agent does not delete the information about the service from the list that appears when you execute the jpctool service list command. To delete this information, use the jpctool service delete command.
-
For details about deleting the information about the service, see the section about deleting the service in the chapter on installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
Note that when you want to update the PFM - Web Console host to reflect the deletion of service information, you need to execute the jpctool service sync command to synchronize the agent information of the PFM - Manager host and that of the PFM - Web Console host.
(5) Other notes
-
Before you start uninstallation, use the jpcconf inst setup command or PFM - Web Console to check the agent log output folder. If this folder has been changed from the default folder (/opt/jp1pc/agto/agent/instance-name/log), the agent log files remain after uninstallation. Manually delete these files after uninstallation.
-
When uninstalling a Performance Management program from a host on which PFM - Web Console is installed, close all browser windows before you uninstall the program.
