Uninstalling WebSphere Commerce Developer feature packs using the IBM Installation Manager

You can uninstall WebSphere Commerce Developer Feature Packs using the IBM Installation Manager that you used to install WebSphere Commerce Developer. Before you uninstall a WebSphere Commerce feature pack, review this information.

Before you begin

If you enabled any features that are included in the WebSphere Commerce feature pack, you must take one of the following actions:
  • If you are want to keep your workspace, your database configuration, or your data as they are, disable each feature individually before you uninstall the feature pack. To disable the features included in the feature pack, see Disabling features.
  • If you want to create a new environment, you can restore the development environment to the default setup. If you restore the development environment to the default setup, your workspace is deleted and replaced. All code and customizations are removed. The database configuration is set to use the Cloudscape or Derby database. Any existing Cloudscape or Derby database is deleted and replaced with the default database that is provided with WebSphere Commerce Developer.

About this task

If you install a feature pack on a system that already has a lower-level feature pack that is installed, features in the lower-level feature pack are overwritten by the higher feature pack version. When you use this task to uninstall the later feature pack, the operation uninstalls only those features that were not present in the previous feature pack. All features that were in the previous feature pack remain on your system at the higher level. The previous feature pack can still be uninstalled.
