Content Note: Use the instructions below only when the uninstaller program fails to remove the Administration Center entries from the ODM database. See APAR IC48937 for more information about the installation error that occurs when the ODM entries are not correctly removed by the uninstaller. To remove the ODM entries, you must perform operations on each Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). For each GUID, determine if it is referenced in any of the five classes in the Software Vital Product Data (SWVPD). The five classes are: lpp, product, vendor, history and inventory. List of GUIDs for the Administration Center: TIVsm-admincenter tivoli.tsm.server.admincenter admincenter 07681838b3993cf412d858c5b6083a63 10f0b955b159943a96e34f1003a7063e 13d7472a8ea54a61321e42f3a0b52f64 184e8957368e9239c13d5c8108773aea 21dde986483508d2bf7bc4781d8bf8e7 235a58f2ff4e7d24ac103f50b951096c 2f0f338f548978fbb15776156562becf 334e4fc2e2436de3eb16435e571bfa2c ==== Remove entries from the lpp class ==== For each GUID in the list, search the lpp class. 1. Run the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "name = Product GUID" lpp If the GUID is found, you will see output like the following: lpp: name = "Product GUID" size = 0 state = 5 cp_flag = 131345 group = "" magic_letter = "" ver = 1 rel = 1 mod = 0 fix = 0 description = "Description of Product" lpp_id = 1043 2. Record the lpp_id associated with each GUID, as shown in the output of this command. (The lpp_id is used later.) 3. For each entry found, run the following command to remove it: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o lpp -q "name = Product GUID" 4. To verify that the entry was removed, rerun the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "name = Product GUID" lpp If the entry was successfully removed, there should be no output. ==== Remove entries from the product class ==== For each GUID in the list, search the product class. 1. Run the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_name = Product GUID" product If the GUID is found, you will see output like the following: product: lpp_name = "Product GUID" comp_id = "" update = 0 cp_flag = 131345 fesn = "" name = "Product GUID" state = 5 ver = 1 rel = 1 mod = 0 fix = 0 ptf = "" media = 0 sceded_by = "" fixinfo = "" prereq = "" description = "Description of Product" supersedes = "" 2. For each entry found, run the following command to remove it: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o product -q "lpp_name = Product GUID" 3. To verify that the entry was removed, rerun the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_name = Product GUID" product If the entry was successfully removed, there should be no output. ==== Remove entries from the vendor class ==== For each GUID in the list, search the vendor class. 1. Run the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "GUID = Product GUID" vendor If the GUID is found, you will see output like the following: vendor: GUID = "Product GUID" ver = 1 rel = 1 mod = 0 fix = 0 type = 1 ddir = "install/directory" uninstaller = "location/of/uninstaller" msgcat = "" msgnumber = 0 msgset = 0 lpp_id = 1043 PGUID = "Parent GUID" time = 1023223295 instance = 1 description = "Description of Product" misc1 = "" misc2 = "" misc3 = "" Note that the lpp_id is also included in this record. 2. For each entry found, run the following command to remove it: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o vendor -q "GUID = Product GUID" 3. To verify that the entry was removed, rerun the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "GUID = Product GUID" vendor If the entry was successfully removed, there should be no output. ==== Remove entries from the history class ==== For each GUID in the list, search the history class. To search the history class, you must use the lpp_id that you obtained from the lpp or the vendor steps above. 1. Run the following command, using the lpp_id that you obtained when removing the entries from the lpp class or the vendor class: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_id = ID" history If the lpp_id is found, you will see output like the following: history: lpp_id = id event = 2 ver = 1 rel = 1 mod = 0 fix = 0 ptf = "" corr_svn = "" cp_mod = "" cp_fix = "" login_name = "" state = 1 time = 1023223295 comment = "" 2. For each entry found, run the following command to remove it: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o history -q "lpp_id = ID" 3. To verify that the entry was removed, rerun the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_id = ID" history If the entry was successfully removed, there should be no output. ==== Remove entries from the inventory class ==== To search the inventory class, you must use the lpp_id that you obtained from the lpp or the vendor steps above. Note that only Components will have inventory entries (so you do not need to check any lpp_id that is a Product or Feature). 1. Run the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_id = ID" inventory If the lpp_id is found, you will see output like the following: inventory: lpp_id = id private = 0 file_type = 0 format = 1 loc0 = "location/of/file/installed/with/component loc1 = "" loc2 = "" size = 779 checksum = 25483 Note: You will have an inventory entry for each file that is installed for a particular lpp_id associated with a component, so in most cases, you will see multiple entries after running this command. 2. To remove all entries for a particular lpp_id, run the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o inventory -q "lpp_id = ID" 3. To verify that the entry was removed, rerun the command: # ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q "lpp_id = ID" inventory If the entry was successfully removed, there should be no output. 4. Ensure that there are no entries for the TSM Administration Center in the file /usr/lib/objrepos/vpd.properties. This is a plain ASCII file. Remove any lines that refer to TSM Administration Center by deleting them. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21240202
