How the program uninstalls components

During the installation of a BMC Atrium Orchestrator component, the installation program creates a subdirectory in the component installation directory that contains an uninstallation program for that component. You use this uninstallation program to uninstall that component and any other components also installed in that component installation directory, as illustrated in the following scenario.

Although the scenario shows the GUI uninstallation, the way in which the program uninstalls components also applies to the silent uninstallation.

CDP installed with BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel and graphing server

Suppose that when you installed the CDP, you also selected the Operator Control Panel and Graphing Components options, as shown in the following figure.
During the installation of these components, you specified the following directory:
/opt/bmc/ao/cdp
The installation program installed the CDP, BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel, and the graphing components in this directory.

In this scenario, if you launch the uninstallation program from /opt/bmc/ao/cdp/uninstallBMCAO, the uninstallation program will also uninstall the Operator Control Panel and the graphing components because they were installed with the CDP and in the same directory. As shown in the following figure, the Uninstallation Preview panel shows the parent and child components that will be uninstalled.
