Oracle Application Server Installation Guide

B.9 Deinstallation

You can perform a silent deinstallation of Oracle Application Server by supplying a
silent deinstallation parameter to the response file you used for installation.

Add the following parameter to your installation response file:

REMOVE_HOMES={"<ORACLE_HOME to be removed>"}

For example:

REMOVE_HOME="/local_location/oracle_home"

To perform a silent deinstallation, use the -deinstall parameter when entering the
command:

prompt> runInstaller -silent -deinstall -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename

Note:

You still need to follow the deinstallation steps described in

Appendix D, "Deinstallation and Reinstallation"

. One of the key steps

is to run the deconfig tool before running the silent deinstallation
command. The silent deinstallation command only replaces the step
where you run the installer interactively to deinstall the instance.
