Removing a PAA assembly

You must remove the installed content and resources of a Portal Application Archive (PAA) assembly from HCL Digital Experience. Then, you can remove the associated PAA assembly from the ConfigEngine.

  1. Open a command prompt.

  2. Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.

  3. If you are using the Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism (SPNEGO) for single sign-on, complete the following steps to disable SPNEGO:

    1. Log on to WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.

    2. Go to Security > Global security > Web and SIP security > SPNEGO Web authentication.

    3. Clear the Enable SPNEGO check box.

    4. Save your changes.

  4. Run the following command to remove the assembly:

    This command checks for any dependencies from other assemblies that are registered to the current offering.

    • AIX®: ./ConfigEngine.sh remove-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DforceRemove=true -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password

    • Linux™: ./ConfigEngine.sh remove-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DforceRemove=true -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password

    • Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat remove-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DforceRemove=true -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password

    Optional parameter

    The -DforceRemove=true parameter is optional. If the parameter is not set, only components in the components.properties file with a value of true are removed.

  5. Run the following command to uninstall the assembly:

    The uninstall-paa command checks for any dependencies from other assemblies. Only components that are not registered as dependencies are removed. Add the -DforceUninstall=true parameter to the uninstall-paa task to ignore the dependencies and uninstall the assembly.

    • AIX: ./ConfigEngine.sh uninstall-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password

    • Linux: ./ConfigEngine.sh uninstall-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password

    • Windows: ConfigEngine.bat uninstall-paa –DappName=assemblyName -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password
