Items to Remove or Clean Up
To deinstall Oracle Application Server instances, you have to clean up the items listed
in
Table D–1 . The procedures are described later in this appendix.
Note:
■
If you used OracleAS RepCA to install the OracleAS Metadata
Repository on an existing database, and you want to remove the
OracleAS Metadata Repository, select the "Remove" option in
OracleAS RepCA. You can also use OracleAS RepCA to remove
the registration from Oracle Internet Directory.
■
If you remove an infrastructure instance, all middle-tier instances
that depend on that infrastructure will no longer work.
If you want to keep the middle-tier instances, you can configure them to
use services from another infrastructure. See the Oracle Application Server
Administrator’s Guide for details.
