First step is to disable installed features of the feature pack on Websphere Commerce Server 7.0
Assuming current installation information
- IBM WCS 7
- IBM WCS Fix pack 2
- IBM WCS Feature Pack 2 on top of Feature pack 1
Feature pack 2 provides the following features
- content-version
- social-commerce
- store-enhancements
- management-center
- foundation
The features must be disabled in the order as shown above starting from a to e
Steps to uninstall feature pack
- Disable the features of the Feature pack
- Take a backup of the existing WCS configuration by issuing the following commandWC_profiledir/bin/backupConfig.bat backup_file.zip (Windows)
- Backup the database (I am using DB2, so its pretty easy backing up using control centre)
- Disable features by issuing the following command for each feature that is enabled
config_ant.bat -buildfile
WC_installdir/components/common/xml/disableFeature.xml
-DinstanceName=
instance_name -DfeatureName=<<featurename>>
-DdbUserPassword=
db_password
where <<featurename>> is the name of the feature as detailed in a to e above except b.
For disabling social-enhancements, logon to WAS admin console and go to applications à websphere enterprise applications à and select WC_instance_name_soccom and click uninstall.
- Uninstall feature pack 2 by navigating to WC_installdir/uninstall.fep2 and click on Uninstall.exe. Follow the instructions. This will remove the feature pack 2.
I not have a file disableFeature.xml in WC_installdir/components/common/xml (I do have a disableFeatureForToolkit.xml). I also do no have the config_ant bat file in WC_installdir/bin.
ReplyDeletePS. I have installed feature pack 4 and all seems to be working ok. I do not seem to be able to uninstall it.
