To make sure the Bridge will be uninstalled correctly, read the description carefully, as there are significant differences between
You need administration rights to perform the steps described below.
Stopping the Services and the Bridge
Stop all running services on the Bridge.
If a deployed service was using a proxy, stop the Proxy Server in the Bridge.
Stop the Windows service/Linux daemon of the Bridge (E2E Console) on the system.
On Linux systems, you need to login as root user and execute the following command:
CODE
/etc/init.d/e2e_console stop <DNS name>
Manual Removal of a Single Bridge Installation
Follow the steps below to remove a Single Bridge Installation or the last server instance of a Multiple Bridge Installation.
Removing a Single Bridge Installation
Removing the Directories
Remove the installation directory of the Bridge (default location: C:\E2E_BRIDGE_PROG resp. /opt/e2e_bridge_prog).
Optionally, remove the data directory of the Bridge containing the composite services (default location: C:\ E2E_BRIDGE_DATA resp. /opt/e2e_bridge_data).
If you decide to not remove the data directory, you need to remove the following files from this directory:
data.properties
domain\nodes.xml
If these files are not removed, and you try to re-install the Bridge, the installer will use the old installation parameters and perform an update installation.
Removing the Registry Entries (Windows only)
With a installation in workstation mode, use a command shell to remove the following registry entries:
NONE
sc.exe delete E2EConsole-localhost
sc.exe delete E2EProxies-localhost
With a installation in server mode, use a command shell to remove the following registry entries:
NONE
sc.exe delete E2EConsole-<fully qualified domain name>
sc.exe delete E2EProxies-<fully qualified domain name>
For example:
NONE
sc.exe delete E2EConsole-bridge.scheer-acme.com
sc.exe delete E2EProxies-bridge.scheer-acme.com
Look at the Windows Services dialog for your fully qualified domain name.
Removing the Files (Linux only)
If you did not check the option Start E2E Bridge service on system startup during the installation of the Bridge, these links were not created by the installer.
In each folder rc2.d and rc3.d, there are two files starting with letter K or S, followed by a number and e2e_console. However, the number (here 99) may be different as they were generated by the operation system. Make sure to remove all four files.
/etc/rc0.d/K99e2e_console
/etc/rc1.d/K99e2e_console
/etc/rc2.d/K99e2e_console
/etc/rc3.d/S99e2e_console
/etc/rcS.d/K99e2e_console
Removing Bridges from a Multiple Bridge Installation
Follow the steps below to remove an additional Bridge from a Multiple Bridge installation.
If you are removing the last Bridge instance of a Multiple Bridge Installation, refer to section Manual Removal of a Single Bridge Installation.
Removing an additional Bridge from a Multiple Bridge Installation
Editing the Files (Linux only)
Edit the Console startup file /etc/init.d/e2e_console as follows.
Locate the lines that define CONSOLE_HOSTNAMES and CONSOLE_HOMES, for instance:
CODE
CONSOLE_HOSTNAMES="bridge.scheer-acme.com bridge2.scheer-acme.com"
CONSOLE_HOMES="/opt/e2e_bridge_prog /opt/e2e_bridge_prog2"
Remove the entries for the node you want to remove, for instance bridge2.scheer-acme.com, which is installed in folder /opt/e2e_bridge_prog2.
After editing the file, both lines would look like this:
CODE
CONSOLE_HOSTNAMES="bridge.scheer-acme.com"
CONSOLE_HOMES="/opt/e2e_bridge_prog"
