Uninstalling

This topic describes how to uninstall the Continuous Optimization Agent, Gateway Server, and the Remote ETL Engine.

To uninstall the Continuous Optimization Agent

You can uninstall the Continuous Optimization Agent by using the uninstallation script. To uninstall the Agent on a Windows system, ensure that you open the command prompt as an administrator for running the script.

1. Log in to the computer from where you want to uninstall the Continuous Optimization Agent.
   • (Windows) Log in as a user with administrator privileges.
   • (UNIX and Linux) Log in as a root user.

2. Do the following steps:

   • (Windows)
     
     1. Navigate to the directory where the Agent is installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Patrol3
     2. At the command prompt, enter this command:
        uninstall.bat

   • (UNIX and Linux)

     1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable.
     2. Change to the directory where the Agent is installed.
        The default location is /opt/bmc/Patrol3
     3. Run the following command:
        {{code language="none"}}
        ./uninstall.sh
        {{/code}}

     A confirmation message about a successful uninstallation is displayed.

To uninstall the Gateway Server silently

1. Log in as a non-root user to the computer from where you want to uninstall the Gateway Server.
2. Create a directory for the uninstallation options file.
3. Copy the HO_ConsoleSilentUninstallOptions.txt file to the directory that you created in Step 2.
   This file is located in the installer package that you downloaded at the time of installing the product.
4. Navigate to the UninstallBMCBPA folder in the installation directory.
   The default installation directory is /opt/bmc/Patrol3.
5. Run the following command: 
   ./uninstall -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fileLocationPath>/HO_ConsoleSilentUninstallOptions.txt
   The variable <fileLocationPath> represents the location where you saved the options file. If the path contains spaces, enclose the path and response file names in quotation marks.

If the bgssd process is still running after the uninstallation, perform the following to kill the process:

1. Run the following command to get the process ID:
   ps -ef | grep bgs | grep -v grep
