Uninstalling

Things to Consider

Before uninstalling FME Flow, keep in mind the following:

• Before you upgrade to a newer version of FME Flow, see Upgrading FME Flow for instructions on backing up your existing configuration. You must uninstall any previous versions of FME Flow before installing an upgrade.
• Uninstalling FME Flow removes the contents of your Tomcat directory if you installed the default Web Application Server. This folder is located in the FME Flow installation directory under Utilities\tomcat. If you made custom modifications to this Tomcat, these modifications should be backed up before uninstall.
• Uninstalling removes the configuration of the following components, but does not uninstall them. If reinstalling or performing an upgrade, these components are reused and reconfigured:
  • The PostgreSQL FME Flow Database, if applicable.
  • The NGINX reverse proxy.

To Uninstall:

Ensure that FME Flow, FME Flow Application Server, or other Web Application servers are shut down before proceeding.

Run the uninstall.sh script in the FME Flow installation directory.  To ensure that everything gets uninstalled, run this script as root.
