Description

The uninstall-node-dcom subcommand uninstalls Payara Server software from the hosts that are specified as the operand of the subcommand. This subcommand requires the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol to be configured on the host where the subcommand is run and on each host where the Payara Server software is being uninstalled.

To uninstall Payara Server software on hosts that use secure shell (SSH), use the uninstall-node-ssh subcommand.

By default, if any node except the predefined node localhost-`domain resides on any host from which Payara Server software is being uninstalled, the subcommand fails. To uninstall the Payara Server software from a host on which user-defined nodes reside, set the `--force option to true. If the --force option is true, the subcommand removes the entire content of the parent of the base installation directory.

If a file under the parent of the base installation directory is open, the subcommand fails.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following items must be the same on all hosts:

  • Parent of the base installation directory for the Payara Server software

  • Windows user

  • Windows domain

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the domain administration server (DAS).

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

--force

Specifies whether the subcommand uninstalls the Payara Server software from a host even if a user-defined node resides on the host. Possible values are as follows:

false

If a user-defined node resides on a host, the software is not uninstalled and the subcommand fails (default).
If the --force option is false, the subcommand removes only the Payara Server software files. Other content if the parent of the base installation directory, such as configuration files, are not removed.

true

The subcommand uninstalls the Payara Server software from the host even if a user-defined node resides on the host.
If the --force option is true, the subcommand removes the entire content of the parent of the base installation directory.
