Hi Renald,

I'm not sure Veb is coming back to assign you those points, even though judging by his posting title, your information solved his problem. Therefore, I'm assigning you the "solved" points in case Veb does not.

Thanks for your efforts!

Hi,

if you want to install a new Sneak Preview Version it could make sense to uninstall the sapdb, too.

Look at this link or into OSS note 599129.

I used the uninstall command as advised and removed WAS (everything under /usr/sap is gone.)

But running "sdbuninst -all" gives below result.

Please tell me how I can remove sapdb ?

uninstall following package(s):

Database Kernel c:/sapdb/j2e/db 7.5.00.18 32 bit

PCR 7403 c:/sapdb/programs 7.4.03.35 32 bit

PCR 7500 c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

DB Analyzer c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

Webtools c:/sapdb/programs/web 7.5.00.18 32 bit

XML Indexing Engine c:/sapdb/programs/web 7.5.00.18 32 bit

ODBC c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

Server Utilities c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

Loader c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

PCR 7104 c:/sapdb/programs 7.1.04.45

JDBC c:/sapdb/programs 7.6.00.00

PCR 7300 c:/sapdb/programs 7.3.00.51

PCR 7301 c:/sapdb/programs 7.3.01.17

Base c:/sapdb/programs 7.5.00.18 32 bit

start uninstallation now (y/n)?y

found instance J2E

cannot remove package "Database Kernel": first you have to remove all instances

Actually after dropping the db thru cli then runing the command worked. should have read the notes properly earlier.

Thank you Renald for the information

Hi,

if you want to uninstall the EP go into C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00 and run the program uninstsap.exe.

Don't forget to restart the server.
