  • Remove the integration configuration directory and all contained files from customization_path/javascript/tiny/editors/connections.

    1. Removing any backup folders under customization_path/javascript/tiny/editors such as:

      • tiny-editors-connections-backup-time
      • ephox-editors-connections-backup-time
      • ephox-editlive-connections-backup-time
        1. Removing the editors folder if it is now empty.

    2. Removing the tiny folder if it is now empty.

    3. Removing configuration files for older versions of the integration by removing customization_path/javascript/ephox.

  • Delete the integration jar file from provision_path/webresources/tiny.editors.connections_version.jar where version is the integration version number.

    Attention

    When manually uninstalling on Microsoft Windows, you will be unable to delete the jar file if the Common enterprise application is running.

    Tip

    You can also remove any jar named ephox.editors.connections_oldVersion.jar which was the integration jar name before the 4.0.0 release.

  • Follow the post-customization steps to ensure the server cache is updated.

  • Start the Common WebSphere enterprise application.

    1. Log in to the web interface of the WebSphere Application Server Console.

      The default address is: https://host_name:9043/ibm/console

    2. Navigate to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.

  • Verify the uninstall by browsing to the edit screen for a wiki or blog to verify that the Tiny editors are not being loaded and that it has reverted to the default editor.

    Note

    If after performing this step Tiny Editors for HCL Connections is still available then restarting the Common enterprise application may be necessary to force a cache update.
