Deleting MQSeries

Deleting MQSeries for AS/400, V5.1

There are two ways of deleting MQSeries for AS/400:

vA standard deletion removes MQSeries product code but preserves user data.

vAn entire deletion removes both MQSeries product code and user data.

Standard Deletion

Perform a standard deletion of the MQSeries for AS/400 product if you wish to retain your user data, for example, because you intend to reinstall the product at a later date.

To perform this deletion:

1.Quiesce MQSeries for AS/400. (See ªQuiescing V5.1 of MQSeries for AS/400º on page 24.)

2.End the MQSeries subsystem, by entering:

ENDSBS SBS(QMQM/QMQM)

3.Ensure that no locks are held on the library QMQM.

4.Use the Delete Licensed Program (DLTLICPGM) command to delete the base product (and also the samples if you chose to install them). To delete the base product and the samples enter:

DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733A38) OPTION(*ALL)

To delete only the samples, you could enter:

DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733A38) OPTION(1)

Deleting MQSeries for AS/400 in this way deletes only the objects that belong to MQSeries. That is, the QMQM library and /QIBM/ProdData/mqm and its subdirectories. None of the queue manager journal libraries or IFS directories is removed.

Entire Deletion

You can, if you wish, delete MQSeries entirely, including all user data. If you do this, save your user data first. It will not be recoverable.

To perform this deletion:

1.Using the WRKMQM command, select option 4 to delete all queue managers on the system.

2.Quiesce MQSeries for AS/400. (See ªQuiescing V5.1 of MQSeries for AS/400º on page 24.)
