My colleague installed content server with errors, I want to reinstall. To do this I have to remove the one that was previously installed.

Hi Albert,

You should have chose to use SAPinst to perform un-install along with dropping MaxDB database.

Once you had completed that you could manually delete files from OS level.

Hope this helps.

There is no option to uninstall Content Server using sapinst and I haven't seen one.

You can uninstall MaxDB with sapinst or with the MaxDB installer as well.

I shared my experience in deleting the Content Server files from the directories and all the MaxDB files from the OS level with the rm command.

Remember you need to delete all the files for MaxDB like binaries, data and log files else the next installation will throw an error.

You need to supply the error message to get more help.

Hi Albert,

You may use SAPINST or SWPM based on your release to un-install and drop the DB instance associated with Content server.

Later clear all the files from the content server folder.

Note: Please take full offline backup before you perform deletion.

Hope this helps

So, i find some official information about removing MAX DB(Uninstalling the SAP DB Software (SAP Library - SAP DB)), but it only  database removing, not SAP part of Content Server, how i can delete SAP part?

If i am wrong, please correct me.

On Linux, just delete the contents of the file systems used for MaxDB and the Content Server.

I have done it few times to re-install CS

Hi Albert,

SAP part is configuration. You may disable the connection to avoid further connection from SAP to Content server.

For documents created in SAP DMS you may create items marked as deletion.

Refer thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/1585196

Hope this helps.

Please, describe in detail how to delete content server. what tools, how did you do it?

[Reagan]

I am sure you know the file systems used for MaxDB and the ones used for the Content Server.

You need to delete the contents under these directories/file systems.
