How to Uninstall Java Dialog Instance

[Former Member]

Does anyone know how to uninstall a Java Dialog instance?

The install instructions, 'SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1 Java on Windows: MS SQL Server' suggest that I should go to the control panel and select the add/remove program and then find the instance and remove it. However, the instance does not appear in the list.

Note: I have the ABAP stack (DEV) and the java stack (JDV) installed on the same box. But, the java stack is not an add-in. The ABAP stack instance does appear in the add/remove program list.

Below are the systems and instances I have installed:

SysName Instance Instance Name

DEV 00 DVEBMSG00

JDV 01 SCS01

JDV 02 JC02

JDV 03 J03

I want to remove instance 03 because it will not be used.

ok Doug,

i've a workaround for that.

Go to registry editor.IF YOU Find the Service corresponding to J03(SAP<SID>_03). Delete it. (if you want to be fail safe, export that contents to a file using FILE --> EXPORT and then delete it. you may import it later if you want). and RESTART the PC.

this process will ensure that there is no instance according to your system (coz no registry entry is found). it is as good as removed. but the files that were created during the instance installation will remain in your hard drive.

IN CASE you need this instance later or this workaround gives you any trouble, just import the registry contents file which you have exported earlier and RESTART THE PC.

it is as good as it was!!!

this is an easy work around but slightly risky as u are fiddling with your SYSTEM REGISTRY ENTRIES.

Regards

Arun.

PS: Remove the corresponding entry in the WINDOWS SERVICES file. otherwise, it will give PORT IN USE during later installation with instance number 03.

Hi Arun:

The ABAP stack (DEV) appears in the add remove list, but not the JAVA stack (JDV). Is the JDV stack included in the DEV selection? Also, will I definitely get the choose to do a custom uninstall?

hi Doug,

In this case, don't do it.. you might end up removing the entire server.

Can you tell me the purpose? i'll try another way out of that!

hi Doug,

your Java Instance has got an instance number of 01 (if your CI is 00). Go to control panel, add remove programs, and select SAP Server and give Remove. it will now ask Complete removal or Custom. Choose Custom and give the instance number 01.

That should do.
