Uninstalling BMC Digital Workplace and Smart IT

The following procedure describes how to uninstall the file system for Remedy with Smart IT (Smart IT) and BMC Digital Workplace .

To uninstall Smart IT and BMC Digital Workplace

1. Uninstall the application: 
   • (Windows) Go to the UninstallBMCSmartIT folder (such as C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Smart_IT_MyIT\UninstallBMCSmartIT), and run the uninstall file.
     Alternatively, From the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs > BMC Remedy with Smart IT <version> & BMC MyIT <version> Install and click Remove.
   • (Linux) Perform the following steps:
     1. Go to the UninstallBMCSmartIT folder (such as /data1/bmc/Smart_IT_MyIT/UninstallBMCMyIT), and run the uninstall file. 
     2. If you are running MongoDB on a separate server or have several servers for a replica set, stop the MongoDB service if it is running because uninstalling Smart IT and BMC Digital Workplace  in a Linux environment does not stop services related to BMC Digital Workplace  and Smart IT.

   • • MyIT and MyIT Administration forms (all forms prefixed with MyIT)
     • CAI:Events2, if any
     • MyIT workflows containing the word "social"
       You might have to switch to Base Development mode to delete the files. For more information, see new  Deleting forms  and  Changing the development mode  in the BMC Remedy AR System documentation
