Uninstall

After you back up your repository and any configurations and before you install the newest FME Server version, you must uninstall the previously installed version of FME Server.

The following steps are required:

• Stopping the Services
• Uninstalling FME Server
• Dropping the Third Party Database (if required)

When completed, proceed to Install.

Stopping the Services

For the uninstall process to complete properly, you must first stop the FME Server services, as well as any third-party web application and database services:

Note:  For more information about stopping the FME Server services, see Starting the Services.

To stop the FME Server services:

• For Windows environments, select Start > All Programs > FME Server > Windows Service > Stop.

• For Linux environments, run the stopServer.sh script in <FMEServerDir>/Server. It should display:

  Shutdown status = Shutdown Success

To stop the web application server and database services depends on which ones you have installed. If you installed FME Server using the Express option, the preceding instructions also stop these services. If you installed FME Server using the Custom option, you may have opted to use your own web application and/or database server. To stop these services, refer to your product-specific documentation.

Uninstalling Previous Versions of FME Server

Uninstall the previous version of FME Server:

• For Windows environments, uninstall FME Server through the Control Panel.
• For Linux environments, remove the following:
  • Your FME Server directory
  • All FME .war files and their associated FME servlet directories from the web application deployment directory of your application server
  • The fmedatadownloadresults directory from your web server public root directory, if it exists

Dropping the Third-Party Database

If your previous installation of FME Server used your own database server (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL) rather than the FME Server default database, you must drop the FME Server database currently in use. To do so, use the following SQL scripts, depending on your database:

Microsoft SQL Server

Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\sqlserver

Scripts:

sqlserver_dropUser.sql

sqlserver_dropDB.sql

Oracle

Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\oracle

Scripts:

oracle_dropUser.sql

PostgreSQL

Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\postgresql

Scripts:

postgresql_dropUser.sql

postgresql_dropDB.sql
