Removing Product FocalPoints

After removing the last Tier agent, action items are generated for how to remove specific product FocalPoints. Alternatively, you can configure the registry to auto-uninstall product FocalPoints, with the removal of the last Tier agent.

To configure the registry to auto-uninstall product FocalPoints

  1. On the main node Precise FocalPoint, open the following file:
         products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\products\<product-code>.xml
         <product-code>
    is the two-letter code of the product from which you want to automatically uninstall its FocalPoint.
  2. Locate the tag:  <auto-uninstall> and update its value to "true": <auto-uninstall>true</auto-uninstall>.
  3. Delete the following status file: products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\products\<product-code>.xml.status
  4. Restart the main node Precise FocalPoint.

Removing server definitions

Server definitions are automatically removed by default. Alternatively, the user can configure the registry so the server will not be automatically removed. In this case, the user should use CLI to remove the server. For more information, see Precise CLI Utility Reference Guide.

To configure the registry so the server will not be automatically removed

  1. On the main node Precise Focalpoint, open the following file:
         products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\settings.xml
  2. Locate the tag <auto-remove-ba> and update its value to:
         "false": <auto-remove-ba>false</auto-remove-ba>
  3. Delete the following status file:
         products\i3fp\registry\products\infrastructure\setup\settings.xml.status
  4. Restart the main node Precise FocalPoint.

Removing Precise FocalPoints

After removing all Precise agents from the existing Tier instances, all product frameworks, and all server definitions, you need to remove Precise FocalPoint.

To remove Precise FocalPoint

  1. Log in to the Precise FocalPoint machine (for UNIX use the precise unix user).
  2. Run the following command:
    • Windows
      \products\i3fp\bin\psin_uninstall_i3fp.bat
    • UNIX
      ./products/i3fp/bin/psin_uninstall_i3fp.sh

For Windows, you can also use the Add/Remove Programs feature found in your computer's control panel along with performing all uninstall related action items.
