This method uninstalls all components of the Application Server and the ETL Engine, including the Database Schema.


  1. Log in to the computer from where you want to uninstall the Application Server and the ETL Engine.
  2. Create a directory for the uninstallation options file.
  3. Navigate to the UninstallBMCBCO folder in the installation directory. The default directory is /opt/bmc/BCO.
  4. Copy the BCO_UNINSTALL.txt file to the directory that you created in Step 2.
  5. In a command line, change to the UninstallBMCBCO folder in the installation directory.

  6. Run the following command:

    ./uninstall.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fileLocationPath>/BCO_UNINSTALL.txt

    The variable <fileLocationPath> represents the location where you saved the options file. If the path contains spaces, enclose the path and options file name in quotation marks.

Manually deleting the database schema

  1. Log in as the Oracle database administrator. Example: sys.
  2. Stop all the TrueSight Capacity Optimization services on all the computers where the Application Server and ETL Engine are installed.
  3. On the first computer where the Database Schema is installed, browse to the folder where Capacity Optimization is installed ($BCO_HOME) and run the drop.sql script. This script contains the default user names and tablespaces. If you had customized them, modify the script before running.
