Uninstall the Tiny Editors Integration on Linux or Unix

Running the uninstaller script will automate the removal of the Tiny Editors Integration on Linux or Unix.

Before you begin:

  • Determine the host_name of the server hosting HCL Connections™.

  • Get user access as the HCL Connections installer or higher administrative permissions, on both:

    • The host server.
    • The WebSphere Application Server Console.

  • Determine the Connections paths (customization_path and provision_path).

    1. Log in to the web interface of the WebSphere Application Server Console.

      The default address is: https://host_name:9043/ibm/console

    2. Expand Environment and click the WebSphere variables link.

      WebSphere Variables link

    3. Find the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH in the variables list and record the value which will be referred to as customization_path from this point.

    4. Find the CONNECTIONS_PROVISION_PATH in the variables list and record the value which will be referred to as provision_path from this point.

  • Attention: We strongly recommend:

  • Setting up SSH key access to the Connections host server.

  • Using a local SSH agent to avoid password prompts when logging in via SSH. The following script makes numerous connections, and connection prompts for a password if SSH keys are not used.

  • Run the uninstall script located in the root directory of the Tiny Editors for HCL Connections package as follows:

    ./uninstall.sh user@host\_name customization\_path provision\_path/webresources

    Note: This command will automatically backup any existing configuration it finds in

    • customization_path/javascript/tiny/editors/connections
    • customization_path/javascript/ephox/editors/connections
    • customization_path/javascript/ephox/editlive/connections If you do not wish for a backup to be created run the uninstall script with the optional --no-backup parameter, e.g.:
    ./uninstall.sh --no-backup user@host\_name customization\_path provision\_path/webresources 

    ./uninstall.sh root@p-ce-conncr5-01 /shared_content/customization /shared_content/provision/webresources

Uninstall complete

For the changes to take effect, please perform the required post-customization step, as described in
  https://help.hcltechsw.com/connections/v6/admin/customize/t_admin_common_customize_postreq.html

  • Follow the post-customization steps to ensure the server cache is updated.

  • Verify the uninstall by browsing to the edit screen for a wiki or blog to verify that the Tiny editors are not being loaded and that it has reverted to the default editor.

    Note: If after performing this step Tiny Editors for HCL Connections is still available then restarting the Common enterprise application may be necessary to force a cache update.
