Uninstalling HATS Toolkit

When you uninstall the HATS package, the HATS Toolkit and all installed features are uninstalled.

When you uninstall HATS Toolkit, the files for your HATS projects and their resources are not deleted. If you re-install HATS Toolkit you are able to work with projects you have previously created. To delete your HATS project files, delete each project before you uninstall HATS. If you want to delete HATS project files after uninstalling HATS, go to the workspace directory on the file system and delete the HATS project files.

To uninstall HATS Toolkit:
  1. You must be logged on with Administrator privileges.
  2. Close the HATS perspectives and exit from Rational® SDP.
    Note:
    When you start Rational® SDP, it always tries to reopen the last perspective that was open. To avoid error messages, before you uninstall HATS, close the HATS perspectives before you exit Rational® SDP. If HATS were the last perspective open when you uninstall HATS, Rational® SDP will issue error messages because it cannot find the files necessary to reopen the perspective. If this occurs, change the perspective, the errors do not harm anything.
  3. Start the IBM® Installation Manager from the Start menu.
  4. On the IBM® Installation Manager panel, click Uninstall.
  5. On the Uninstall Packages panel, select the IBM HATS package and click Next.
  6. On the Summary panel, click Uninstall.
  7. You will see a progress bar as the installation program uninstalls HATS and the Start menu items.
  8. On the Uninstall Packages panel, you are informed if the uninstallation was completed successfully. If necessary, you can click View Log File to view the uninstall log. Click Finish to close the Uninstall Packages panel.
