How to remove ISMP files when the directories have been deleted?
Hello all,

I've been asked to help with some cleanup on a couple of systems that were running some Websphere apps. I need to remove the following filesets:

Code:
 mqsi61.cfgmgrc             6.1.0.2  COMMITTED  Config. Manager Component
  mqsi61.cfgmgrf             6.1.0.2  COMMITTED  Config. Manager Feature
  mqsi61.unsc                6.1.0.2  COMMITTED  UNS Component
  mqsi61.unsf                6.1.0.2  COMMITTED  UNS Feature

These were part of an ISMP install package, and when I try to remove them using geninstall I get:

Code:
ew7qo7u@essutl01:/home/ew7qo7u> sudo geninstall -Zu J:mqsi61.cfgmgrc
Password:
You have requested to uninstall an ISMP feature or component.
Uninstalling ISMP components is not allowed.

To uninstall an ISMP feature, you must run the uninstaller in interactive mode.
The uninstaller for this product can be found at
/opt/IBM/mqsi/6.1/_uninst_runtime/uninstall.jar.

But someone already deleted the /opt/IBM/mqsi directories.


So I need to know how to remove these filesets and ensure the ODM is clean afterward.

Thanks!


Shawn

You might reinstall it as if an upgrade, and then you should be able to uninstall.

IBM provides some cleanup scripts for WebSphere Apps that may help get you started.

Yes, many cleanup apps remove elements referring to nonexistent paths.

Thank you folks.. I had the applications person re-install, then uninstall the package, and it's clean now. I appreciate the help.
