Uninstalling the Supporting Files and Application Server

Uninstalling the Supporting Files and Application Server on Microsoft Windows servers

  1. On the Microsoft Windows server, make sure that you are logged in with a user and password that has administrative privileges on the server.

  2. From the installation location, run the xSSMSrv<sp>_<patch>-<smp-id>.exe file.

  3. In the first screen, click Next.

  4. In the next screen, do one of the following:

    • To uninstall Application Server and the supporting files if they are both installed on the same system, deselect Strategy Management Server Components.

    • To uninstall just the supporting files, deselect SM Supporting Files.

    • To uninstall just Application Server, deselect SM Application Server.

  5. Click Next.

  6. In the final screen, click Done.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • If you do not plan to reinstall Application Server, go to \Windows directory and delete the lsserver.ini file.

    • If you plan to reinstall Application Server on the same drive, you do not need to delete the lsserver.ini file.

    • If you plan to reinstall Application Server on a different drive, either delete lsserver.ini after installing, or else reinstall Application Server and then modify lsserver.ini to refer to the correct drive and directory location of Application Server.

    • If you plan to reinstall Application Server on a different drive and you are running Windows 2008 R2 system, you need to search for all instances of lsserver.ini and lsdal.ini and delete them (including the files in the \Users directory).

Uninstalling Application Server on a Linux/UNIX server

The Uninstall program attempts to remove or reverse all changes made to the system by the Setup program. Depending on your OS settings, you may be required to reboot the system after uninstalling.

  1. Use rm to remove all files except MASTERDB, databases, and scripts.

  2. Clean up processes and remove files at the operating system level. In the /etc/services file, delete the following line, where nnnn is a number such as 2001 or 8325. That number varies depending on the version of the strategy management software you have installed:

    lsserver nnnn/tcp lsserver # Application Server Client
