D.1 Deconfig Tool
In this release, there is a tool called the Deconfig tool that you need to run as part of
the deinstallation procedure. This tool removes entries in OracleAS Metadata
Repository and Oracle Internet Directory for the Oracle Application Server instance
that you want to deinstall.
The Deconfig tool does not remove partner application entries. If you need to remove
partner application entries, follow the steps in
Section F.4.1, "Obsolete Partner URLs
Still Remain on the OracleAS Single Sign-On Administration Screen" .
The Deconfig tool does not remove OracleAS Clusters from the farm. If you are
deinstalling OracleAS Clusters, you will need to run the
dcmctl removecluster
command after deinstalling the instances. See Section D.5, "Deinstalling OracleAS
Cluster (Identity Management)" for details.
To run the Deconfig tool, run the Perl interpreter on the
ORACLE_
HOME/bin/deconfig.pl
script. Use the Perl interpreter provided with Oracle
Application Server.
