Using a command line to uninstall platform components
In a silent uninstallation, you run the uninstallation program from a command line. You can run a silent uninstallation on Red Hat or SUSE Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft Windows to uninstall the BMC Atrium Orchestrator platform components.
- On Windows computers, the silent uninstallation does not direct output to the console.
- On UNIX computers, a short startup message and a console representation of a progress meter is displayed. The uninstallation finishes without comments on the screen.
