sap..& uninstall

[ravi_raman2]

How can we completely uninstall a sap instance..running the uninstall only deletes the files, how do we clean up the database and remove all the objects for that install...in this case the schema is sapprd....any ideas or notes on how to delete the entire schema for that instance...

Hi Ravi,

First Uninstall your SAP Application Server in the add or remove programs

Second Uninstall your Oracle database by OUI and delete /usr and /oracle folder in the system.

Clear your registry with regedit

Restart your system , you will find it successful

Hi Ravi,

You should provide the OS and Database involved ?

If its Windows, I think there is some SAPUninst.exe or something like that in the 'run' directory..

If its UNIX.. clean up /usr/sap/<SID> and database stuff depends on the database installed.

HI:

Is your System NW04s/7.0 based or is it a different version?

The newer releases are uninstalled through the sapinst DVD. The older systems could be uninstalled though add/remove programs.

It asks you during the uninstall process if you want to keep the DB or get rid of it.

But, the exact uninstall process would depend on the release of your SAP system.

Release 700 (Current), Release 640, Release 620 etc etc.

Also, what is your DB platform?

Thanks!

Hello Ravi,

To uninstall sap first uninstall a sap instance from add remove program it will uninstall the sap installation files and uninstall oracle by oracle installer then manually delete all the oracle and sap related files and directory then clean your registry, go to regedit and delete the SAP and oracle related registry entry then restart your computer
